Development in the oil rich countries of the Middle East is strange. Everything is planned and designed by Americans/Europeans and built by South Asians/poorer Arabs. They don’t really build any skill or capabilities in their local population say, for example, like India.

My guess is that stuff like the highly competitive airlines at first serve to at least let people set foot in those countries and change perceptions.

Then as you have cheap flights in and out, slowly increase commerce?

Not just the airport. It’s everything. All their infrastructure, all their building and refineries etc.

This will eventually destroy them
