UAE’s Air Arabia reintroduces flights between Ras Al Khaimah and Jeddah

These flights will operate three times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. This move is part of Air Arabia’s strategy to enhance connectivity between key destinations in the region while providing passengers with more flexible travel options.

The resumption of this route is expected to bolster tourism and trade between Ras Al Khaimah and Jeddah. Adel Al Ali, Group CEO of Air Arabia, expressed excitement about this development, highlighting the airline’s commitment to expanding its operations from Ras Al Khaimah. The new service comes as Air Arabia continues to expand its network, which already includes direct connections to cities such as Cairo, Islamabad, Lahore, Peshawar, and Calicut, as well as the newly introduced route to Moscow (
