Air Arabia marks 10 years in Qatar with additional frequency

After completing a successful decade of operations in Qatar, Air Arabia, claimed to be the first and largest low-cost carrier (LCC) in the MENA, has expanded its services to Doha. The airline has increased its existing twice daily services between Sharjah and Doha to three times daily, becoming one of the frequent fliers between the two countries.
Air Arabia entered Qatar with a regular service to Doha on Jan. 6, 2004. Over the past decade, the airline continued to enjoy good performance on the Sharjah-Doha route, which resulted in the airline expanding its services from a few weekly flights to three times daily. With the additional frequency, the number of weekly flights to Doha will go up to 21 nonstop services, departing form Sharjah International Airport daily.
Adel Ali, group CEO, Air Arabia, said: “We are delighted to celebrate the New Year by launching an additional flight to Doha, which has always been a key market for us. Completing a decade long operations in this very exciting market is a key milestone for us.”
Ali added: “Since inception in 2003, we have been committed to the improve intra-GCC connectivity to most major destinations in the Gulf. As we continue to play a vital role in connecting the nations, we have ambitious plans to strengthen operations to all airports within the GCC, offering enormous choice for customers seeking to travel around the region, where air travel is the only viable mode of transport.”
The strengthening of Qatar services further cements Air Arabia’s position as the "leading low-cost carrier to GCC markets." In 10 years of operations, Air Arabia’s network has expanded to serve over 15 destinations in the GCC from hubs in the UAE and Egypt, with further expansion plans along the way. The airline now operates 154 weekly flights within the Gulf.
