Air Arabia, the first low-cost carrier in the Middle East and North Africa, announced Sunday that it would begin twice-weekly flights between Sharjah, United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Chittagong, Bangladesh, starting on June 18.
Kyle Haywood, commercial director, Air Arabia, said: "We are extremely pleased to announce the launch of Air Arabia flights to Chittagong, which will provide comfortable and competitively priced service for both the expatriate Bangladeshi population in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Bangladeshi community seeking to visit this booming Gulf Arab state."
"With a population of nearly four million and as the country's primary seaport, Chittagong is the commercial and manufacturing capital of Bangladesh. Nearly all imports and exports flow through the city, as most investors are looking to establish operations in the country. Air Arabia is delighted to demonstrate its continued commitment to regional low-cost travel by launching services to this increasingly important South Asian state," he added.
The frequency of flights to Shah Amanat International Airport in Chittagong will be twice-weekly, on Mondays and Fridays.
