Air Arabia Abu Dhabi has expanded its fleet with the addition of two Airbus A320 aircraft, bringing its total fleet size to 12 aircraft. This expansion is part of the airline’s ongoing growth strategy. The carrier also announced plans to add two more Airbus A320 aircraft before the end of the year. This planned fleet increase will boost total capacity by 40% in 2025, further reinforcing Air Arabia Abu Dhabi’s commitment to the growth of Abu Dhabi’s aviation sector and the emirate’s broader economic development. Adel Al Ali, Group Chief Executive Officer, Air Arabia, said: “The addition of new aircraft and our strategic fleet expansion reflect our ongoing commitment to enhancing operational efficiency and expanding our network reach. This growth supports the rising demand for air travel to and from Abu Dhabi.” He added: “The planned capacity increase in 2025 will further contribute to the capital’s broader economic and tourism vision while continuing to offer value-driven air travel to our customers.” Air Arabia Abu Dhabi’s recent network expansions include new routes to Yerevan, Almaty, and Sialkot, further broadening its reach. The airline now connects Abu Dhabi with non-stop service to over 30 destinations across the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, and Eastern Europe, offering seamless travel options for residents, businesses, and visitors alike. Since its launch in 2020, Air Arabia Abu Dhabi has emerged as a key enabler of air connectivity from the UAE capital, providing its customers with affordable and reliable air travel.

Speaking with TravelTV Middle East Paul Griffiths CEO Dubai Airports shared that they expect 93million passengers by the end of the year according to the latest forecast. “We’re ahead of schedule. And what we’re hoping is to see 93 million. That’s the projection. We’ve had a very strong first half this year. We’re hoping to get to 93 million by the end of the year. And 100 million, I think, may be a couple of years away. It’s interesting. Every time we revise our forecast, it’s always in the upward direction. So that’s a very positive trajectory. Well, I think the thing is the attractiveness of Dubai.” adding further on the future of travel, he reiterated, “If you can halve the time it takes a customer to get through the airport, you’ve got double the capacity without building anything, which is really good. And, of course, it’s a much better passenger experience. So the future of travel, I think, is about using technology to remove all of the legacy process that we all suffer when we go on plane trips. So that really is the key to the future of travel through airports.”
