Air Arabia's 300-room three-star Centro Hotel at
Sharjah Airport is on track to complete construction by April
2010.
The concrete structure for all the four
floors of the hotel has already been completed and the low cost
airline even believes that the hotel can be completed below
budget.
Air Arabia signed a management
contract with Rotana Hotels for the Centro Hotel in early 2007.
Centro by Rotana, Sharjah Airport, will
offer both standard rooms and suites. Features of the
hotel include a full
casual-style dining area, in-room wireless Internet connectivity
and entertainment. This will be
combined with comforts such as a gymnasium and swimming pool,
together with on-site business facilities, private meeting
rooms and a business centre.
“Centro by Rotana
at the Sharjah Airport is a key element of Air Arabia’s expansion
strategy,” said Adel Ali, Group Chief Executive Officer of Air
Arabia. “We are pleased to announce that despite challenging
economic conditions, the project is on track, and will be ready to
welcome guests by 2010. In addition to enhancing the services
offered by Air Arabia, the hotel will also strengthen ancillary
revenues, and we are confident that Centro will further improve
the hospitality experience at Sharjah Airport.”
In the first five months of
2009, passenger traffic at Sharjah Airport reached 2.33 million,
up by 11%compared to last year. According to 2008 World
Airport Traffic Report released by Airports Council International,
Sharjah International Airport saw annual traffic growth of 22.1% in 2008, and was ranked third among the world’s 25
fastest-growing airports.
