Air Arabia has announced the launch of a special summer promotion aimed at bringing families and friends closer to their loved ones living in the UAE.

Under the special promotion, Air Arabia will offer roundtrip tickets to Sharjah from any of the 46 destinations the carrier currently serves, along with a one-month UAE tourist visa, for Dh975 ($265).

The special offer, which the airliner said, was part of its larger commitment to the community, is valid for travel to Sharjah between June 15-July 31 and return travel from Sharjah between July 16-September 10.

The promotion includes a UAE tourist visa that is valid for 30 days from the date of entry, subject to approval from the General Directorate for Naturalization and Residence. This offer is inclusive of surcharges and exclusive of airport taxes, said an airline official.

“At Air Arabia, we understand that not everyone will have the opportunity to travel from the UAE this summer to visit family and friends living outside the country,” said AK Nizar, head of Commercial Department, Air Arabia.

“That is why we designed this special low-cost promotion, which will help connect families and friends from across the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia and Central Asia with their loved ones here in the UAE.

“Air Arabia has long demonstrated its commitment to its passengers and all the communities it serves, and this offer underscores our promise to be much more than an airline,” Nizar said.

“As a company, we were founded upon the central belief that by making air travel more convenient and more affordable, Air Arabia would add lasting value to the lives of all its customers,” he added.-TradeArabia News Service
