Sharjah low-cost carrier to take on flydubai as it seeks to capitalise
on Armenia’s growing popularity.
By Dominic Ellis
Air Arabia will begin twice weekly services between Sharjah and
Yerevan from August 16.
Flights will depart from Sharjah International Airport on Tuesdays and
Fridays at 0830, arriving at Zvartnots International Airport at 1115.
Return flights will leave Yerevan at 1235 and arrive in Sharjah
at 1540.
Armenia is an emerging leisure destination with its mountains, forests,
lakes and waterfalls and Yerevan is one of the oldest continuously
inhabited cities in the world, offering a range of museums, parks,
restaurants and sightseeing opportunities.
Air Arabia will compete on the route with flydubai, which flies three
times weekly. Air Arabia’s return prices at launch are currently
AED1,329 compared with flydubai’s AED1,934, although they are
promotional fares.
Yerevan is Air Arabia’s fifth new route this year.
