Air Arabia, the Middle East and North Africa’s first and largest low-cost carrier (LCC) launched its inaugural flight to Sohar, making it the first international flight to commence operations at the Sohar Airport.
The Air Arabia flight will operate three times a week, on Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays, departing from Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) at 08:00 hours, and arriving at Sohar International Airport (OHS) at 08:40 local time. The return flight departs from Sohar at 09:20, landing in Sharjah at 10:00 local time.
The new route complements Air Arabia’s existing operations in Muscat and Salalah, boosts travel and trade opportunities between the two Gulf countries, and provides hassle-free travel options to the residents of Sohar.
Air Arabia commenced operations in October 2003 and currently operates a fleet of 47 new Airbus A320 aircraft, serving over 130 routes from five hubs in the UAE (SHJ & RKT), Morocco, Egypt and Jordan.
