Air Arabia, the first and largest low-cost carrier (LCC) in the Middle East and North Africa, has announced that it will launch twice-weekly service from Sharjah, UAE, to Samara, Russia, beginning October 26, 2009.
The introduction of service to this major Russian city, located on the banks of the Volga River, marks Air Arabia’s third destination in Eastern Europe, following the earlier launch of direct flights from Sharjah to Almaty, Kazakhstan, and Kiev, Ukraine. In total, Air Arabia now serves 59 destinations from two hubs in UAE and Morocco and across the wide Middle East, North Africa, Indian Subcontinent, Africa, Central Asia and Europe.
Roundtrip flights will operate twice per week between Samara Airport and Air Arabia’s UAE hub in Sharjah. The low-cost carrier will fly to Samara Mondays and Fridays, departing Sharjah at 9:10 and arriving in Samara at 13:40. On the same days, return flights will depart Samara at 14:40 and arrive in Sharjah at 19:05.
