New Payment Option from Air Arabia

Air Arabia, a Sharjah-based low cost airline has signed an affiliation with UAE Exchange, to provide customers with a new method of paying for plane tickets by cash.

“Our key objective with this affiliation is to provide greater access to more customers - many customers like to have the option of paying by cash over credit, yet still want the convenience of booking over the phone. The UAE Exchange is a regional company and through this affiliation we will be able to provide quick and easy payment points to more people across the region,” said AK Nizar, Air Arabia’s Head of Sales.

This alliance provides customers the opportunity to pay cash when they make bookings through Air Arabia’s call centre. Travellers receive a reservation number and the booking is held for 48 hours, allowing time to go to the UAE Exchange Branches in Karama, Bur Dubai or Al Qusais in Dubai or to Rolla in Sharjah. At these UAE Exchange Houses, on presentation of the reservation number, the customer is asked to pay the full amount plus a fee of AED 10/- per transaction, which will be directly transferred to Air Arabia, to confirm their flight and receive an itinerary print out. This service is expected to be extended to more locations across the region in the near future.

Air Arabia flies from Sharjah to eighteen different destinations: fourteen flights weekly to Alexandria; nine flights a week to Beirut; daily to Bahrain, Colombo, Damascus, Doha, Mumbai and Muscat; six days a week to Kuwait and Dammam; four times a week to Jeddah and Riyadh; three days a week to Khartoum and Aleppo; and two days a week to Assiut, Luxor, Sana’a and Sharm El Sheikh.
