Air Arabia to launch flights to Kazakhstan

Sharjah-based low cost airline, Air Arabia, is set to expand its Central Asian network. Expansion will begin on Monday 14th November 2005 when the airline touches down in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan. The second city to be connected to the UAE will be Almaty, the commercial hub of Kazakhstan commencing Wednesday 16th November 2005.

Sheikh Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Thani, Air Arabia’s Chairman said today, “More people in the UAE have been waiting to take advantage of the low fares that we offer to destinations across the Middle East and North Africa to take them home. We are now expanding our network to Kazakhstan. We would like to thank the Kazakhstan Authorities for granting us rights to fly to both Almaty and Astana and hope that they will see the benefit to their residents and allow us to increase the number of flights.”

Air Arabia currently flies from Sharjah to twenty destinations: Aleppo and Damascus (Syria); Alexandria, Assiut, Luxor and Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt); Aqaba (Jordan); Bahrain; Beirut (Lebanon); Colombo (Sri Lanka); Dammam, Jeddah and Riyadh (KSA), Doha (Qatar); Khartoum (Sudan); Kuwait; Mumbai and Nagpur (India); Muscat (Oman); and Sana’a (Yemen).
