"We are pleased with the outcome of Air Arabia's first promotion for one-way tickets from Sharjah to any of our destinations," said Adel Ali, Air Arabia's CEO. He added: "Our aim was to grant customers the opportunity to travel more frequently during the Holy Month of Ramadan to friends and family with these promotional fares."

The promotional offer was a success across all of Air Arabia's destinations, particularly on flight routes to Bahrain and Syria which proved to be the most popular. Furthermore, internet bookings during the special offer period were estimated at approximately 25% of all ticket sales.

Commenting on his personal flight experience with Air Arabia, Mr. Mutar Al Maameri, a Kuwaiti National who booked a ticket from Kuwait to Sharjah online using his credit card, said: "I thoroughly enjoyed the flight and was absolutely thrilled with the chance to visit Sharjah on such a low fare. I would definitely choose Air Arabia on my next flight within the region."

Air Arabia is currently flying to Bahrain, Beirut (Lebanon), Damascus (Syria), Kuwait and Muscat (Oman). The projected destination list will cover: Amman (Jordan), Cairo (Egypt), Colombo (Sri Lanka), Doha (Qatar), Isfahan, Shiraz and Tehran (Iran), Sana'a (Yemen) and Saudi Arabia.

Air Arabia offers tremendous opportunities to travellers who are looking for competitive fares. It aims to make air travel more convenient and frequent, while providing the lowest fares in the market without sacrificing the standards of quality or service offered.
