Air Arabia launches London Gatwick flights and restores Aleppo service

Share

Air Arabia has expanded its network by launching direct flights between Sharjah and London Gatwick while resuming daily services to Aleppo, Syria.

The new London Gatwick route began on 5 July with a daily Airbus A321LR service. From 10 July, the airline will increase the route to twice daily, significantly boosting capacity between the UAE and the UK.

At the same time, Air Arabia restarted its daily Sharjah–Aleppo service, further strengthening air links between the UAE and Syria. The airline already operates 21 weekly flights between Sharjah and Damascus and will also launch three weekly flights between Abu Dhabi and Aleppo from 7 July.

With these additions, Air Arabia continues to expand its international network, which now serves more than 76 destinations in around 34 countries from its hubs in Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah.
