Air Arabia has won the prestigious World Travel Market 2015 World Travel Leaders Award in recognition of its leadership of the low-cost aviation sector in the Middle East.
The award was presented to Air Arabia during a ceremony in London.
In bestowing the award, the organisers noted Air Arabia's significant expansion over the past twelve months, including increasing its route network to more than 115 destinations, opening a fifth international hub in Amman, Jordan, and becoming the region's first low-cost carrier (LCC) to launch direct services to China. Air Arabia's profitability, ongoing support of the region's tourism sector, and ability to create skilled jobs were also commended.
The judges said Air Arabia was the first to break the mould and even today still leads with route innovation and adherence to the LCC model.

Our mission remains to help people to fly more, and we are delighted that this work continues to be recognised by the global aviation industry.
