Air Arabia

Create Diamond Alert

The Middle East's first low-cost carrier, Air Arabia was established in 2003 by the Ruler of Sharjah and the Supreme Council of the United Arab Emirates, and is now a publically-listed company based in Sharjah with secondary hubs in Casablanca and Cairo. With its fleet of A320s, Air Arabia’s network includes services within Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent and Europe. Air Arabia has established JV subsidiary airlines in Morocco and Egypt with local investors in each country. This is part of the airline's strategy to create the first pan-Arab airline.

This airline is featured in CAPA's landmark Global LCC Outlook 2010 report, available for free download.
