A passenger just travelling a journey did not expect a surprise that was going to unveil a reward during their travel. For a year, she was given an unlimited number of complimentary roundtrip flying tickets to any destination of her choice. The lucky passenger was the millionth person to fly with Air Arabia Abu Dhabi.

From its hub at Abu Dhabi International Airport, the airline has transported 1,000,000 passengers on over 8,000 flights to 25 destinations. The lucky one-millionth customer was met by airline and airport employees at Abu Dhabi Airport as she checked in for her flight 3L714 to Tbilisi.

Jamal Salem Al Dhaheri, managing director and chief executive officer, Abu Dhabi Airports, said: “Air Arabia Abu Dhabi has performed exceptionally well in a short span of time, highlighting the growing demand for low-cost travel. At Abu Dhabi Airports, we are committed to working with our partner airlines to provide our passengers with enhanced connectivity and a seamless travel experience. With the aviation industry now gaining robust momentum worldwide, we are confident Air Arabia Abu Dhabi will continue to achieve milestone records.”

Air Arabia’s group chief executive officer, Adel Al Ali, said the airline is happy to have reached the milestone in just two years, “during the thick of the Covid-19 pandemic.”
