Air Arabia recently announced its decision to provide five lakh tickets for a discounted rate of just 129 DH from UAE to various Indian cities, including Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram and Kozhikode. Those who book tickets before October 20 could travel at this rate from March 1 to October 25, 2025. These rates would benefit expatriates who travel to India and return during school vacations. The airline said the discounted rates apply to their services from Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, and Ras Al Khaimah to various countries, including India. Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Nagpur, Kolkata, Goa, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai and Coimbatore are the other Indian sectors that would benefit from discounted ticket rates. Air Arabia is a leading budget airline with over two hundred services to various countries. The discounted rates would be available for a certain percentage of tickets in each sector.
Home check-in facility and new route
The airline also recently launched a home check-in facility in Abu Dhabi. This service offers customers the convenience of checking in their luggage and collecting their boarding passes from the comfort of their homes. The home check-in service has been introduced to reduce long queues in front of the airport counter and easily manage baggage. The passenger who gets the boarding pass at home can directly go to the emigration at the airport. They need not wait in the long queue in front of the check-in counter.
Morafiq, a leading firm in innovative airport services, offers Air Arabia's home check-in services. Air Arabia CEO Adil Ali had said that the airline had launched this service to provide the best travelling experience for customers. Home check-in service could be booked using Morafiq’s app/website, Air Arabia’s website, or the customer service centre. Customers could hand over their baggage to the Morafiq staff, who comes home on a specific date. The service costs 185 – 400 dirhams, depending upon the number of luggage. Recently, the airline also inaugurated a new route that connects Ras Al Khaimah (UAE) with Russia's Domodedovo International Airport. It will be launched officially on December 27. The service will be operational three times a week.
