This appointment follows Air Arabia's other regional appointments in Bahrain, Kuwait and North Africa & Levant to date.

"With the appointment of our destination managers, we are ensuring that the Air Arabia brand, message, overall service and customer commitment is consistent throughout the region," said A.K. Nizar, Air Arabia's Commercial Manager.

"We are investing considerable time in hand-picking every regional team member, ensuring that we have the right expertise and knowledge that are crucial for such a distinctive airline model in this region," concluded Nizar. Nasiri will be responsible for developing existing and new business opportunities through raising customer awareness, visibility and effective communication of Air Arabia within its Qatar operations.

Said Nasiri: "Joining the Air Arabia team as it continues its growth throughout the region and neighbouring countries is an exciting prospect." He added: "Furthermore, applying the expertise that I have accumulated to the Air Arabia business model is a challenge I am looking forward to."
