Qatar Air was thwarted in a 2015 bid to boost its Indian footprint by purchasing a stake in budget airline IndiGo.

Emirates suffered the worst incident in its 30-year history when a Boeing 777-300 arriving from India crash-landed in Dubai before bursting into flames, with all people on board escaping unharmed.

Authorities in Egypt and France sought to explain the disappearance of an EgyptAir Airbus A320 jet that vanished on an overnight flight from Paris to Cairo with 66 people on board, raising concerns of a deliberate act or mechanical failure.

The casualty-free conclusion to the hijacking of an EgyptAir jetliner Tuesday is typical of such incidents since security was tightened after the 9/11 attacks on the U.S., with most would-be hostage takers now proving to be unarmed.
