Air Arabia LLC, the Middle East region's first and only low-fares airline, has reached an impressive target of one million passengers in just over 18 months. The one millionth ticket holder, mother of two, Haifa Al Roomi, was awarded with a holiday for two for two nights, to any Air Arabia destination.
Haifa, a Kuwaiti National, was at the check-in with her sons, 11 year old Abdulrahman and 15 year old Abdulla, a member of the Kuwaiti junior tennis team, when she was met with the good news.
“I am so pleased to be the one millionth passenger!” the mother of two exclaimed. “I travel so often with Air Arabia to Sharjah to visit my sister, who teaches in Al Khan School – I am booked again in two weeks time!”
“My family are all frequent flyers with Air Arabia - it is just so convenient and the fares are really good. We often book our flights online - I couldn’t believe how quick and easy it was the first time I tried it, and all you need is the print out to travel,” said Haifa. “We wish they would fly to more countries so that more people can take advantage of their services!” she added.
Air Arabia’s new Head of Marketing Duncan Osborne was there to greet Haifa. “It really is a cause for celebration to have reached this target in the second year of our operations. The fact that people want to fly with us to more destinations truly shows that we are the people’s airline. It is a very important milestone in Air Arabia’s history, and we are grateful to all our customers, including Haifa, for their continued commitment,” Duncan declared.
Air Arabia flies from Sharjah to eighteen different destinations: fourteen flights weekly to Alexandria; nine flights a week to Beirut; daily to Bahrain, Colombo, Damascus, Doha, Mumbai and Muscat; six days a week to Kuwait and Dammam; four times a week to Jeddah and Riyadh; three days a week to Khartoum and Aleppo; and two days a week to Assiut, Luxor, Sana’a and Sharm El Sheikh.
