Air Arabia in a nutshell
Air Arabia is the Arab world's first and largest low-cost airline with more than 170 destinations across the Middle East, North Africa, Asia and Europe.
Although it is a low-cost airline, it also offers guaranteed connections as standard.
It is based at Sharjah SHJ Airport in the Emirates.
Air Arabia operates a unified fleet consisting exclusively of Airbus A320 aircraft in the typical grey and red livery. Outside of Sharjah on the outskirts of Dubai, it operates several subsidiary branches at these airports:
- Air Arabia Maroc (3O/MAC) with bases in Casablanca, Agadir, Fez and Tangier,
- Air Arabia Egypt (E5/RBG) based in Alexandria.
All airlines operate as the parent Air Arabia and use a single website.

Hi, what is your experience with the one hour layover in Sharjah? Did you make it, did you have a good time? How did the Arab low cost carrier handle it?
Hi, a few years ago I had 40 minutes to transfer. Strangely enough, the first flight (Colombo - Sharjah) was about 30 minutes late, so I didn't even hope I could make the flight to Prague. However, much to my surprise, the plane was waiting for us (about 10 people). But whether this is a standard situation, I have no idea.
And not to forget - they even managed to switch luggage during the rush, which surprised me the most :-)
They're having a super event today.
