Air Arabia LLC, the first low-fares airline in the Middle East
and North Africa announced it will fly direct from Sharjah to
Yerevan-Armenia, which is one of the latest additions to the Middle
East carrier's destinations portfolio.
Yerevan is the fifth new destination announced by Air Arabia in the
last few weeks and promises to attract many travellers as it is only
three hours away from Sharjah airport and therefore a very convenient
attraction for nature inspired week-end breaks.
Yerevan is the capital of Armenia and counts 1.2 million inhabitants,
which is 40% of Armenia's total population and makes it the most
animated city of the country. Travellers will be enchanted to walk
through one of the only cities in the world to have its authentic
birth certificate and thus, proving it is one of the oldest on earth.
As a tourist destination, Yerevan will provide UAE travellers the
possibility to walk in a green city, visit numerous monuments from
previous Soviet Union Republic, shop in traditional boutiques and
markets, attend performances at the Yerevan Opera-pride of the city
and discover the beauty of the Mount Ararat, capped with snow and
reflecting the beauty of a city that shines with pink because of its
tuf stone.
"Yerevan is a unique destination for us as it is still uncharted
territory for many residents and travllers. We are very proud to
bring our passengers the opportunity to discover historical cities
and learn more about destinations that are out of the ordinary." said
Mr Adel Ali, CEO of Air Arabia.
"We particularly aim to provide our customers exciting destinations,
convenient flight timings and above all, reasonable costs for their
trip. Additionally, we hope to introduce to our passengers very soon
a value added Air Arabia holidays option that will add to the overall
attraction of availing full, hassle free holiday packages," he added.
Starting with a single flight to Bahrain in October 2003, Air Arabia
today flies to over 30 destinations across 20 countries, including
recent additions like Chennai and Thiruvanthapuram in India, Latakia
in Syria and Katmandu in Nepal carrying over two million passengers.

Alexandria, Assiut and Luxor (Egypt); Amman (Jordan); Astana and
