Airline In Focus: Air Arabia

Air Arabia, the Middle East's first low-cost carrier, was established in 2003 by the Ruler of Sharjah and the Supreme Council of the United Arab Emirates. It is now a publicly-listed company based in Sharjah with secondary hubs at Ras Al Khaimah International Airport, as well as Casablanca and Cairo. 

Air Arabia’s network includes services within the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent and Europe. The LCC has established JV subsidiary airlines in Egypt and Morocco with local investors in each country. This is part of the airline's strategy to create the first pan-Arab airline.
