Maskapai murah pertama ing Teluk Sharjah / Uni Emirat Arab saiki wis disetel kanggo penerbangan antarane Nairobi lan Sharjah wiwit akhir Oktober.
Air Arabia wis dadi crita sukses wiwit wiwitan, mbuktekake kritikus awal salah yen operasi maskapai murah ora bakal duwe papan ing wilayah Teluk sing sugih. Air Arabia, nggunakake pesawat A320, wiwitane bakal mabur kaping papat seminggu nanging wis mbukak pilihan kanggo nambah jumlah penerbangan yen dikarepake lan loadfactors mbenerake peningkatan kapasitas. Nairobi bakal dadi tujuan Afrika kaping papat maskapai kasebut.
Pasar sing dimaksudake dianggep minangka populasi pekerja ekspatriat Afrika Timur sing tambah akeh ing wilayah Teluk, nanging dodolan uga bakal target preian paket terjangkau saka Teluk menyang Afrika Wétan, sing mesthi bakal entuk manfaat kanggo industri pariwisata ing kana. Ora ana rega sing kasedhiya nalika arep ditekan.
APA sing kudu dijupuk saka ARTIKEL INI:
- The intended market is thought to be the increasing East African expatriate workers population in the Gulf area, but sales will also target affordable package holidays from the Gulf to Eastern Africa, which will no doubt benefit the tourism industry there.
- Air Arabia, using an A320 aircraft, will initially fly four times a week but has left open the option to increase the number of flights once demand and loadfactors justifies a capacity increase.
- Air Arabia has been a success story since its inception, proving initial critics wrong that low-cost airline operations would have no place in the rich Gulf region.
