Good News for Expats: Air Arabia Flights to 17 Countries Resumed from Sharjah & Abu Dhabi

Air Arabia Announces Resumption of Flights to India and 16 Other Countries

In a major relief for thousands of Indian expatriates and international travelers, Air Arabia has officially announced the gradual resumption of its flight operations. Following a period of regional airspace restrictions in early 2026, the airline is now restoring connectivity between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and 49 international destinations across 17 countries.

Operating Hubs and Flight Network

The airline confirmed that its three primary hubs in the UAE will operate the revised flight schedule:

• Sharjah International Airport (SHJ)
• Zayed International Airport, Abu Dhabi (AUH)
• Ras Al Khaimah International Airport (RAK)

This phased restart aims to bring normalcy back to regional travel, particularly for the South Asian corridor, which remains the busiest segment of the airline's network.

India and South Asia Routes Back on Track

For Indian workers and travelers, the resumption covers major cities. Flights are set to operate to and from several Indian destinations, ensuring that those stranded or planning to return to work in the Gulf can now secure their bookings. In addition to India, services have also resumed for Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.

Flexible Options for Cancelled Bookings

Understanding the challenges faced by passengers during the recent flight suspensions, Air Arabia has introduced a flexible customer assistance policy. Passengers whose previous flights were cancelled due to regulatory reasons are offered the following options:

• One-time Free Change: Rebook your flight for a new date within 30 days of the original departure without any additional modification fees.
• Credit Vouchers: Receive a full-value voucher for the amount paid, which can be used for future travel bookings.
• Full Cash Refund: Request a total refund to the original form of payment if the new schedule does not suit your requirements.

How to Book Your Flight

Passengers are encouraged to use official channels to ensure they receive the most accurate information. Bookings can be made via:

• The official Air Arabia website or mobile app.
• Authorized travel agents in India and the UAE.
• Air Arabia’s dedicated customer call centers.

Safety and Operational Approvals

The airline emphasized that while the restart is underway, all flights remain subject to regulatory and operational approvals from civil aviation authorities. Travelers are advised to check the flight status frequently before heading to the airport, as the regional situation continues to evolve. Air Arabia remains committed to the highest safety standards for both its crew and passengers during this transition period.
