Dubai: Air Arabia, the Sharjah-based carrier, announced that it is adding Hargeisa as its latest African destination, with flights to the Somaliland city starting from July 4.

The flights will operate twice a week, and come on top of Air Arabia’s six other destinations across Africa in Egypt, Sudan, and Kenya.

Air Arabia said it believes the new route will establish Hargeisa as a popular travel destination and appeal to growing tourism and trade sectors.

Air Arabia currently operates flights to over 130 routes across the world.
