UAE's first domestic flight in October... RAK Airways to fly to Abu Dhabi

Ras Al Khaimah-based RAK Airways, one of the flagship carriers of the UAE, has worked on building passenger numbers, filling 250,000 seats in 2011, while gradually expanding its destination network to Africa, Middle East and Asia.
Airline Call Centre staff confirmed to Emirates24|7 that domestic service to Abu Dhabi will begin October, with four flights a week. No information was provided about fares.
This is the first domestic flight in the UAE's history, a landmark in the history of the UAE. Furthermore, the passenger will not be required to carry their passports but Emirates ID cards at the two airports to check in and check out.
RAK Airways Acting CEO John Brayford has announced the airline’s strategic plan to land in Abu Dhabi, bringing the capital closer to the residents of Ras Al Khaimah and Northern Emirates.
“With the launch of Abu Dhabi, we are offering residents of Ras Al Khaimah and Northern Emirates, an alternative and we are connecting Ras Al Khaimah to the capital. RAK Airways will embark into a major milestone with its touchdown in the capital, Abu Dhabi on October 3, 2012. With the first flight to Abu Dhabi, RAK Airways will be the first UAE flag carrier to operate domestic flights and the airline’s route network moves up to 10 destinations,
