Dubai: Air Arabia Abu Dhabi will expand its Egypt network this November with the launch of new direct flights to Assiut.

Starting November 4, 2025, the capital’s first low-cost carrier will operate two weekly flights from Zayed International Airport to Assiut International Airport, scheduled for Tuesdays and Fridays.

The move strengthens connectivity between the UAE and Egypt, with Assiut becoming the third Egyptian city served by Air Arabia Abu Dhabi, alongside Cairo and Alexandria.

This addition strengthens our network between the UAE and Egypt, offering customers more convenient and affordable options to travel between the two countries.”

Air Arabia Abu Dhabi currently operates a fleet of 12 Airbus A320s, flying to more than 30 international destinations from Abu Dhabi. The airline plans to expand both its fleet and route network before the end of the year.

Passengers can also access onboard services including ‘SkyTime’ (free in-flight streaming), ‘SkyCafe’ (affordable onboard catering), and ‘Air Rewards’, the carrier’s loyalty program.

Tickets for the new Abu Dhabi–Assiut service are now available through Air Arabia’s website, call centre, and partner travel agencies.
