Air Arabia Adds Planes to Egypt, Morocco Bases as Demand Grows

Air Arabia PJSC, the Middle East’s biggest discount airline, is adding aircraft to its bases in Morocco and Egypt to capture a rebound in demand for travel following the events of last year’s so-called Arab Spring.

The Sharjah, United Arab Emirates-based carrier recently added a jet in Alexandria, Egypt and is deploying another this year at its Moroccan base in Casablanca to operate European routes, Chief Executive Officer Adel Ali said in an interview. It will also increase frequencies to Moscow and India.
