Air Arabia Abu Dhabi receives Air Operating Certificate

Air Arabia Abu Dhabi announced (23-Apr-2020) it received its Air Operating Certificate (AOC), permitting it to start operating from Abu Dhabi as the fifth UAE national airline. The LCC has been granted the reservation code 3L by IATA. Etihad Aviation Group CEO Tony Douglas stated: "Air Arabia Abu Dhabi will ideally serve those who wish to explore new destinations from the capital, meeting the growing demand for low cost travel in the region and complementing Etihad's own global network". Air Arabia Abu Dhabi will continue to work closely with the UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority to finalise the launch date as market conditions improve and skies open up. [more - original PR]
