Shareholders of Air Arabia have approved a 30 percent cash dividend for the financial year ending December 31, 2025, following the airline’s record financial performance.
The decision was taken during the company’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), where investors approved a dividend of 30 fils per share, reflecting the carrier’s strong profitability and continued expansion.
The approval follows Air Arabia’s strong financial results for 2025, when the airline posted a record net profit before tax of AED 1.8 billion, representing a 14 percent increase compared to the previous year.
During the meeting, shareholders also approved the auditor’s report, balance sheet and profit and loss statements for the financial year ending December 31, 2025.
The assembly also cleared the company’s board of directors and auditors from liability for the financial year, appointed auditors for the upcoming fiscal year and fixed their remuneration. Shareholders additionally elected the board of directors for a new three-year term.
Sheikh Abdullah Bin Mohammed Al Thani, Chairman of Air Arabia, said: “Air Arabia’s performance in 2025 marks the strongest year in the Group’s history, reflecting the strength of our business model and the dedication of our people. During the year, we continued to expand our network, launched new routes across key markets, and increased our operating capacity to meet growing demand for value-driven air travel”.
In 2025, Air Arabia expanded its international network by adding 30 new routes across its six operating hubs located in the UAE, Morocco, Egypt and Pakistan. The airline also took delivery of five new aircraft and added nine more to support its growth plans.
By the end of the year, the airline’s fleet had grown to 90 Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft, serving more than 220 routes across the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Europe.
Commenting on the outlook, Sheikh Abdullah said: “Despite the current geopolitical situation and its impact on the global economy and regional aviation, we remain confident in the fundamentals of our industry, the strength of our business model, and the strategy we continue to pursue. Most importantly, we have full confidence in our people and in our ability to navigate the current challenges while continuing to deliver value to our customers and shareholders.”
The airline said it remains focused on expansion and operational efficiency despite global economic uncertainties.
