Antalya to be Air Arabia's second Turkish destination

Air Arabia, claimed to be the MENA’s first and largest low-cost carrier, Tuesday announced the launch of nonstop services to Antalya, on the Mediterranean coast, in the southwest of Turkey.
The new service from the carrier’s primary hub in Sharjah marks Air Arabia’s second destination in Turkey and 89th worldwide. From July 29, Air Arabia will offer three weekly flights to Antalya, making it a convenient holiday destination for passengers traveling from the UAE.
“The new regular service to Antalya is a testament to Air Arabia’s commitment to providing affordable holiday destinations to passengers traveling from the UAE,” said, Adel Ali, group CEO, Air Arabia. “Antalya, our second Turkish destination, is one of the most visited cities in terms of international arrivals, behind Paris and London, and this route provides a great opportunity for visitors to experience the rich culture and beauty of the Turkish Riviera.”
Flights will depart Sharjah International Airport on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Return flights will depart from Antalya to Sharjah.
The launch of Antalya complements Air Arabia’s seven weekly flights to the historic city of Istanbul, a route launched in 2006. In June 2009, the airline expanded Turkish operations to connect Istanbul to its Casablanca hub in Morocco. Today, the low cost pioneer operates over 4 weekly nonstop services between Istanbul and Casablanca.
