Air Arabia aircraft orders may not be enough

Sharjah-based low-cost carrier, Air Arabia has said that the implementation of its expansion plans would require more than 44 Airbus aircraft it had previously ordered, Reuters has reported. The largest Arab airline by market value had opened a second hub in Morocco last year, and is working on launching a new budget carrier with an Egyptian partner and setting up a third hub in Alexandria. Air Arabia's CEO for Morocco, Rohit Ramachandran told the news service at Moroccan Travel Market in Marrakesh, the aircrafts won't be enough to keep up with the airline's requirements for the three hubs.
