The oil rich nations of the Middle East are investing much of their wealth in 21st century infrastructure. A good example are the new Muscat International and Salalah Airports that are currently under construction in the Sultanate of Oman.

IATA also calculates that the region will experience an increase in air freight demand of 4.9%, leading the rest of the world.
