SHARJAH/ ABU DHABI, UAE – Air Arabia announced the launch of a new route operating between Sharjah and Giza city in Egypt.
The non-stop flights will connect Sharjah International Airport with Sphinx International Airport with a frequency of five weekly flights starting from December 6, 2023.
Group Chief Executive Officer, Air Arabia Adel Al Ali said, “We are glad to announce the launch of our new flights from Sharjah International Airport to Sphinx International Airport in the historic city of Giza, Egypt.”
He said, “Sphinx International Airport marks Air Arabia’s fourth destination in Egypt from Sharjah, following Cairo International Airport, Borg Al-Arab International Airport and Sohag International Airport.”
Customers can now book their direct flights from Sharjah to Giza by visiting Air Arabia’s website, by calling the call center, or through travel agencies.
Meanwhile, British Airways announced that it will launch daily flights to Abu Dhabi next year, following a four-year hiatus.
Available to book from Friday, the route will begin operating on April 20, 2024, serving the UAE’s capital year-round from London Heathrow.
Maureen Bannerman, Abu Dhabi Airports Chief Commercial Officer, said, “We’re delighted to welcome British Airways back to Abu Dhabi International Airport, adding to the growing list of leading carriers set to use Terminal A as their operational base in Abu Dhabi.”
Bannerman said, “A luxurious new gateway to Abu Dhabi, Terminal A will open to the public from November 1, offering state-of-the-art facilities for both passengers and airlines.”
The new flight will be operated by a Boeing 787-9 aircraft in summer 2024 and will boost connectivity to the UAE as it joins flights to neighbouring Dubai, which operate up to three-times daily from Heathrow.
Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ Director of Network and Alliances, said, “Abu Dhabi is a unique destination that is making a very welcome return to our network.”
