Air Arabia to begin routes to Iraq

Air Arabia is to open its first route from Sharjah to Iraq, with a twice weekly service to the city of Najaf from tomorrow.

The airline now serves 61 destinations across its network.

"Iraq has great potential as a destination for business and personal travellers, as well as long-term growth potential for religious and cultural tourism," says Air Arabia's chief operating officer for its Sharjah base, Sherif Attia.
