• Carrier honoured in ‘Best Airline’ category by customers and industry peers
• Sharjah-based LCC recognised for fourth consecutive year
In recognition of its stellar growth and commitment to service excellence, Air Arabia, the first and largest low-cost carrier (LCC) in the Middle East and North Africa, received the prestigious gold award in the best airline category at the recent MENA Travel Awards 2008. This marks the fourth consecutive year that Air Arabia has received an official accolade at this annual awards ceremony, which is held on the sidelines of the Arabian Travel Market.
Winners of the MENA Travel Awards are selected on the basis of extensive online polling of the opinions of customers and industry peers from across the Middle East and North Africa region. The results, which are audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, represent clear acknowledgement of leadership status in a range of travel-related categories, including airlines, hotels and leisure facilities.
“Launched in October 2003 with an objective of providing timely, convenient and affordable air travel options for the people of the region, Air Arabia today serves over 39 destinations across the Middle East, North Africa, Indian Subcontinent and Central Asia,” said AK Nizar, Head of Commercial Department, Air Arabia. “This award comes in recognition of the growth that we have achieved, and our continued commitment to value-for-money service.
“We will continue to provide customers with the best service possible and maintain our market position as one of the region’s leading airlines. On behalf of Air Arabia and the more than six million passengers who have chosen to fly with us, we are thankful to the organisers of the MENA Travel Awards for this very special award,” he added.
