Katowice will become Air Arabia’s third destination in Poland from Sharjah, joining Warsaw Chopin and Kraków, giving passengers another direct connection between the UAE and Poland.

Four flights a week from December

Air Arabia said the route is aimed at providing customers with a convenient and affordable travel option between the UAE and southern Poland while expanding its European network.

The airline said customers can now book the new service through its website, call centre or travel agencies.
