Sharjah-UAE based Low Cost Carrier (LCC) Air Arabia recently inaugurated its direct flight between Kuala Lumpur and Sharjah. The seven-hour flight between the two cities is the first direct flight by a low-cost carrier connecting Malaysia with the UAE and GCC.
The inaugural flight landed at KL International Airport and was received by an official delegation including YB Datuk Mohammadin Bin Ketapi, Minister of Tourism, Arts & Culture Malaysia; YM Raja Azmi Raja Nazuddin, Group CEO Malaysia Airports; Adel Al Ali, Air Arabia Group CEO; senior management of Malaysia Airports, Air Arabia, UAE Embassy & Tourism Malaysia in addition to media.
“We are confident this new service linking the two cities will further strengthen the trade and tourism ties between both nations,” commented Adel Al Ali.
“I believe that the establishment of Air Arabia’s Sharjah-Kuala Lumpur route will certainly help with increasing tourist arrivals from this region,” remarked YB Datuk Ketapi.
Raja Azmi congratulated Air Arabia for being the 75th airline to operate from KLIA main terminal. “We are also proud to partner with Air Arabia in promoting Malaysia as a preferred holiday destination for Emiratis and the global community,” he observed.
Encapsulating all that Asia has to offer in just one city, Kuala Lumpur, is a modern metropolis dominated by the tallest skyscrapers in Southeast Asia including the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, inspiring blend of cultures, countless eateries, and spectacular sites and monuments.
Air Arabia currently operates flights to more than 170 routes across the globe from four hubs located in the Middle East and North Africa.
