RAK Airways preparing for flight to India

Dubai: RAK Airways is feverishly making preparations building its staff, negotiating contracts and preparing for the first flights to Iran and India and soon after the former CIS countries.
When it launches in January, RAK Airways will fly with two used aircraft: a Boeing 737 it owns and a Boeing 757 it leases.
In its first year, the airline will fly twice a week to 15 destinations in Iran and India. In 2008, Romero plans on expanding into nine more markets in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
By year three, with a fleet of over 10 aircraft, Romero said he will tackle Russia and CIS countries Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan, and possibly chartered flights to Europe.
