Air Arabia boosts Russia operations with new Sochi flight

Air Arabia, a major low-cost carrier in the Middle East and North Africa, has announced the launch of its new flight to the Russian city of Sochi from its hub in Sharjah. The new non-stop flights on Airbus A320 will connect Sharjah International Airport to Sochi International Airport with a frequency of three flights per week starting from June 27, 2025. With this launch, Sochi becomes the sixth Russian city served by the airline directly from Sharjah, after Moscow, Kazan, Samara, Ufa, and Yekaterinburg. Air Arabia said it operates a modern fleet of 79 Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft, the most modern and best-selling single aisle aircraft in the world. The airline also provides non-stop services from its operating hubs in the UAE, including flights between Ras Al Khaimah and Moscow, as well as between Abu Dhabi and Yekaterinburg. This expansion underscores Air Arabia’s commitment to strengthening connectivity between the United Arab Emirates and Russia, fostering tourism, trade, and cultural exchange between the two nations.<br/>
