While tourism has always been important for the U.A.E., Egypt, and Jordan, now other GCC countries, including Saudi Arabia and Oman, are looking to attract more visitors. The region\u2019s airlines are an important enabler of this industry, connecting the region to the world.<\/p>\n<p>Logistics companies are also key enablers, moving goods and services across the globe. Many MENA countries are developing their ports infrastructure as they compete for a bigger market share of global trade. While the U.A.E. is the market leader, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt have also announced large investments in this sector. The growth of e-commerce is also transforming the logistics industry, increasing the importance of sectors like <a href=\"https:\/\/schools.safapply.com\/\">slot gacor<\/a> warehousing and last-mile delivery.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-2{ padding-top : 40px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start\" style=\"max-width:1185.6px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column max-width-900\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-2{margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:31px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-one\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:31px;\"><h1 class=\"title-heading-center\" style=\"margin:0;color:#ff0000;\">Methodology<\/h1><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\" style=\"font-size:20px;color:#ffffff;\"><p>When ranking MENA\u2019s airlines, we used numbers from the 2019\/20 financial year, as government regulations and other initiatives skewed 2020 numbers to a large extent.
