History

Air Arabia Egypt is an Alexandria-based Air Arabia Group company. The airline offers low-cost travel solutions to a number of destinations across the region. The company focuses on booking online through www.airarabia.com, which provides a quick and easy navigation and booking process. Air Arabia Egypt also provides booking facilities through call centers, travel agents, appointed GSA's and sales shops.

Operations

During the Arab Air Carriers Organization conference in October 2009, Air Arabia CEO Adel Ali indicated that the new airline would operate from Alexandria and a Red Sea station (either Sharm el-Sheikh or Hurghada) as well as Cairo. "Egypt has different needs," he says, in contrast to the single bases established by Air Arabia in Sharjah and Morocco.
