Air Arabia announced that it has welcomed 1.3 million passengers in the second quarter of 2012, an increase of over 15% compared to the corresponding period in 2011. In June 2012 alone, the airline carried some 466,474 customers - the highest number of passengers that the airline handled in a month by far.
The airline also reported that the average seat load factor for the second quarter of 2012 stood at 85%, registering an increase of 3% over the figure for the second quarter of last year. The airline attributes this impressive growth to its wider range of destinations and the value for money services.
Since the beginning of 2012, Air Arabia introduced two new routes to its award-winning network from Sharjah International Airport, including, Taif in Saudi Arabia, and Salalah in Oman. In addition, the airline also increased daily frequencies to Moscow, Kuwait, Nagpur and Dammam from its Sharjah hub.
