Saudi-Qatari stuff

"Qatar Airways has stolen a march on its competitors for a slice in the potentially lucrative Saudi Arabian market by registering an airline in the Kingdom.  The Saudi government has already said it would be looking to external airlines to help boost its domestic air transport network as with more than 25 airports the Kingdom is set for a massive transportation expansion.  Emirates from Dubai and Gulf Air from Bahrain were already widely believed to have been studying ways of entering the domestic market and linking to their hubs for international flights."
