Air Arabia resumes limited international flights amid regional tensions

UAE-based low-cost carrier Air Arabia has resumed international flight operations on a limited scale from Saturday (April 11), following disruptions caused by ongoing tensions in the Middle East.

The airline said flights will operate to 49 international destinations across 17 countries, subject to approval from relevant regulatory authorities. Services are being gradually restored from its hubs in Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, and Ras Al Khaimah.

The move comes as part of a phased effort to normalise operations after recent disruptions linked to regional conflict.

The airline’s network includes destinations across the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Europe, including Bangladesh.

Air Arabia also said passengers whose flights were previously cancelled will be eligible to rebook, provided they have not already opted for date changes or refunds.

The airline added that affected passengers will be contacted directly with further details as operations continue to stabilise.
