}}RAK Airways was[1] the national airline of Ras Al Khaimah, one of the seven states in the United Arab Emirates.[1] After ceasing operations in 2009, the airline relaunched in 2010 with a new livery and under new management.[2] On 1 January 2014, the airline suspended all its flights but announced that they may resume at a future date after a restructuring process.[1][3]

History

RAK Airways was founded in 2006 and launched operations in early 2007.[2] The carrier was hard hit during the financial crisis of 2007-2010 and ceased operations in 2009.

In 2010 the airline announced that it would be resuming operations with a New "value-for-money" business model, aiming to position itself between full-service and low-cost carriers.[4]

In February 2011, it was revealed that RAK Airways was planning on launching flights to between five and nine new destinations. Though it acknowledged the difficulty of securing slots at several of the destinations due to rival carriers in the UAE, it announced that it was finalizing a codeshare agreement with an Asian carrier and that it would also be increasing the size of its fleet.

In 2013, RAK Airways launched flights to Islamabad, Pakistan; and Amman, Jordan.[5]

RAK Airways announced the immediate suspension of all operations on 1 January 2014, citing economic considerations.[6][7]
