Al Rais, new Dubai cargo airline was launched sometime around December 2nd, 2004 with a maiden flight to Tehran.

According to my research the airline is based at Dubai International Airport and has bought two Boeing 727-200s with a 22 tonne payload capacity.

Analytically speaking this USD$9m start-up airline will feed cargo into larger airlines before expanding worldwide.

Any body has more information about this please update

Sorry, never heard of them before. If they plan to feed into Cargo arlines, wouldn't Sharjah be better then Dubai?

I think he meant to Mainstream civil airlines not to other cargo airlines
