Air Arabia announced (23-Feb-09) that it will launch service to the Greek city of Athens, beginning 21-Apr-09. Roundtrip flights will operate three times per week between Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport in the capital of Greece, and Air Arabia’s hub in Sharjah. Air Arabia is the first LCC in the Middle East to commence operations to Athens.
The LCC will fly to Athens on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, departing Sharjah at 18:55 and arriving at Athens at 22:45. Return flights will depart Athens at 23:30 and arrive in Sharjah at 05:20.
Head of Commercial Department AK Nizar said, “We are extremely pleased to announce the launch of service to Athens. An international tourist destination, Greece is also an important economic centre in the Mediterranean region. There is significant passenger traffic between the country and the Middle East, particularly for tourism and business. We are confident that Air Arabia’s non-stop flight to Greece will further enhance its popularity among the Middle East-based tourists.”
