I-Sharjah / i-United Arab Emirates esekwe kwi-Gulf yokuqala yenqwelomoya yexabiso eliphantsi ngoku imiselwe iinqwelomoya phakathi kweNairobi neSharjah ukuqala ekupheleni kuka-Okthobha.
I-Air Arabia ibe libali lempumelelo ukususela ekusekweni kwayo, ebonisa ukuba abagxeki bokuqala baphosakele ukuba imisebenzi yeenqwelo-moya ephantsi ngexabiso eliphantsi ayinakuba nendawo kwindawo etyebileyo ye-Gulf. I-Air Arabia, isebenzisa inqwelomoya ye-A320, iya kuqala ukubhabha kane ngeveki kodwa ishiye ivulekile ukhetho lokunyusa inani leenqwelomoya xa imfuno kunye nezinto zomthwalo zithethelela ukonyuka komthamo. INairobi iza kuba yindawo yesine e-Afrika yenqwelo moya.
Imarike ecetywayo kucingelwa ukuba kukwanda kwabasebenzi abaphuma kumazwe aseMpuma Afrika kummandla weGulf, kodwa intengiso iya kujolisa kwiiholide zephakheji ezifikelelekayo ukusuka kwiGulf ukuya eMpuma Afrika, ngokungathandabuzekiyo eya kuba yingenelo kushishino lokhenketho apho. Akukho zintlawulo zikhoyo ngexesha lokushicilela.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- The intended market is thought to be the increasing East African expatriate workers population in the Gulf area, but sales will also target affordable package holidays from the Gulf to Eastern Africa, which will no doubt benefit the tourism industry there.
- Air Arabia, using an A320 aircraft, will initially fly four times a week but has left open the option to increase the number of flights once demand and loadfactors justifies a capacity increase.
- Air Arabia has been a success story since its inception, proving initial critics wrong that low-cost airline operations would have no place in the rich Gulf region.
