Air Arabia has inaugurated its daily nonstop service between Sharjah and Krabi, providing a direct connection between the UAE and the coastal Thai city.
The inaugural flight departed from Sharjah International Airport on 28th November 2025, and guests onboard were welcomed upon arrival by Phipat Ratchakitprakarn, Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand and Minister of Transport, along with senior officials from Air Arabia and Krabi Airport.
Commenting on the launch, Adel Al Ali, Group Chief Executive Officer, Air Arabia, said, “Operating our first flight to Krabi marks another milestone in expanding our network in Southeast Asia. This new daily service offers our customers greater convenience and strengthens the growing travel and trade links between the UAE and Thailand. With Krabi now joining Bangkok and Phuket on our network from Sharjah, customers can enjoy even more convenient travel options to the country’s most popular destinations.”
In September, Air Arabia has announced an increase in frequency on its flights between Sharjah and Phuket. Started October 26, 2025, the airline will operate three daily flights between the two cities.
The expansion comes in response to strong and growing demand for travel to Phuket, one of Thailand’s most popular holiday destinations. It also reflects Air Arabia’s commitment to offering customers greater convenience, flexibility, and choice, while further strengthening its presence in the Thai market. In addition to Phuket, the carrier also operates non-stop flights from Sharjah to Bangkok and Krabi, reinforcing its network coverage across Thailand.
Adel Al Ali said: “Thailand continues to be one of the key destinations for both leisure and business travellers. Increasing our flights to Phuket to three times daily is a direct response to the strong demand we are witnessing and reflects our ongoing commitment to expanding choice, convenience, and value for our customers.
