Air Arabia, the Middle East and North Africa’s first and largest low-cost carrier (LCC) operator, has announced the launch of its fifth new Russian route, Samara.

The new flights between Sharjah International Airport and Kurumoch International Airport in Russia will operate three flights weekly, starting from October 1, 2023.

“We are glad to announce the launch of our new route to Samara, which further expands our footprint in the Russian market,” said Adel Al Ali, Group CEO of Air Arabia. The new service to Samara underscores our commitment to continuously providing our customers with affordable travel options while supporting trade, tourism, and cultural exchanges.”

The new service represents the 5th city in Russia that Air Arabia serves after Ufa, Kazan, Yekaterburg, and Moscow. With the addition of Samara to its network, Air Arabia continues to offer its passengers the opportunity to explore new destinations across its extensive global network.

Air Arabia’s commitment to delivering exceptional value and comfort to its passenger is reflected in its fleet of 68 Airbus A320 and A321 neo-LR aircraft, the most modern and best-selling single aisle aircraft in the world. The cabin configuration across the fleet provides added comfort with one of the most generous seat-pitch of any economy cabin.

In addition to ‘SkyTime’, the free in-flight streaming service that allows passengers to stream a wide selection of entertainment directly to their devices, customers can also enjoy a wide variety of delicacies between snacks, meals, and sandwiches from the on-board ‘SkyCafe’ menu at affordable prices.

Customers can now book their direct flights from Sharjah to Samara by visiting Air Arabia’s website, calling the call centre, or through travel agencies.
