More Crew to service Air Arabia's growing operations

Air Arabia, a Sharjah-based low cost airline, is continuing its ongoing recruitment across key areas of its business and with the addition of the ninth group of cabin crew takes the total number of crew to 92.

Air Arabia received its certification last year to conduct their own training for aircraft familiarisation, first aid, general procedures, in-flight emergencies and service techniques and now completes cabin crew training in-house.

Air Arabia’s ninth group of cabin crew, a group of 6 consists of 5 different nationalities from Syria, Philippines, France, Morocco and Iran with 11 different spoken languages between them. Air Arabia’s crew are a diverse group that hail from 29 different nationalities and speak 34 languages.

“As the number of our destinations continues to increase as well as our fleet of aircraft, this ability to train our cabin crew in-house becomes more and more important,” said Adel Ali, Air Arabia’s CEO. He added, “Not only do we ensure that cabin crew undergo intensive training in all safety aspects, but with the training by Air Arabia staff it gives meaning to hands-on experience – cabin crew get a real taste of the ultimate Air Arabia experience.”

Air Arabia currently flies from Sharjah to eighteen different destinations: fourteen flights weekly to Alexandria; nine flights a week to Beirut; daily to Bahrain, Colombo, Damascus, Doha, Mumbai and Muscat; six days a week to Kuwait and Dammam; four times a week to Jeddah and Riyadh; three days a week to Khartoum and Aleppo; and two days a week to Assiut, Luxor, Sana’a and Sharm El Sheikh.
