It blamed “market conditions, increased operating costs and the impact of the regional political instability on the overall aviation industry.” RAK Airways operated cargo services from Ras Al Kaimah to a number of destinations in the Gulf and Indian subcontinent. A previous incarnation of the carrier ceased operations in 2009 before being relaunched in 2010 under the current management.
