Nov 8 2006
Air Arabia, the first low-fares airline in the Middle East and North
Africa, will fly direct from Sharjah to Yerevan-Armenia, which is
one of the latest additions to the Middle East carrier’s destinations
portfolio.
Yerevan is the fifth new destination announced by Air Arabia in the
last few weeks and promises to attract many travellers as it is only
three hours away from Sharjah airport and therefore a very convenient
attraction for nature inspired week-end breaks.
Yerevan is the capital of Armenia and counts 1.2 million inhabitants,
which is 40 per cent of Armenia’s total population. Travellers will
be enchanted to walk through one of the only cities in the world to
have its authentic birth certificate and thus, proving it is one of
the oldest on earth, said a spokesman.
As a tourist destination, Yerevan will provide UAE travellers the
possibility to walk in a green city, visit numerous monuments from
previous Soviet Union Republic, shop in traditional boutiques and
markets, attend performances at the Yerevan Opera-pride of the city
and discover the beauty of the Mount Ararat, capped with snow and
reflecting the beauty of a city that shines with pink because of its
tuf stone.
"Yerevan is a unique destination for us as it is still uncharted
territory for many residents and travellers. We are very proud to
bring our passengers the opportunity to discover historical cities
and learn more about destinations that are out of the ordinary." said
Adel Ali, CEO of Air Arabia.
Air Arabia flies to over 30 destinations across 20 countries,
including recent additions like Chennai and Thiruvanthapuram in India,
Latakia in Syria and Katmandu in Nepal carrying over two million
passengers.
