Air Arabia to continue operating flights to Russia as long as it is legal, says CEO

RIYADH: Emirati carrier Air Arabia will continue operating flights to Russia as long as it is legal, said Air Arabia CEO Adel Ali. 
However, Ali made it clear that the airline currently has no plans to operate additional services to Russia, reported Reuters. 
“We as an airline operate to whichever airport that’s open for business and people are traveling. Our job is to connect people and as long as it is open, we will do that within the law. The moment legally we can’t fly to somewhere, we stop flying,” said Ali, while talking to reporters at a conference in Ras Al-Khaimah, UAE. 
According to the Air Arabia CEO, it is too early to say how sanctions on Russia are going to impact operations there.  He, however, said the suspension of flights to Ukraine will not have a significant impact on the airline. 
The CEO said he is not concerned about the current surge in oil prices.
