Dubai’s ruler has ordered the establishment of a budget carrier for the emirate to meet demands of increased passenger traffic to the United Arab Emirates.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum says the airline will be aimed at lower-income passengers.

It will be part of the Emirates Group whose main carrier, Emirates, is based at Dubai International Airport. Al Maktoum’s order states that the carrier will “enjoy the same privileges” under the group.
