Sharjah-based carrier Air Arabia has officially launched daily nonstop flights between Sharjah International Airport and Krabi, Thailand, marking a significant expansion of its Southeast Asian network. The inaugural flight departed on November 28, 2025, receiving an official welcome in Krabi attended by Thai Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Phipat Ratchakitprakarn alongside senior aviation officials.
This new route establishes the third Thai destination in Air Arabia’s expanding network from Sharjah, complementing existing services to Bangkok and Phuket. The daily direct connection enhances travel convenience while strengthening economic and tourism ties between the United Arab Emirates and Thailand’s southern coastal region.
Adel Al Ali, Group Chief Executive Officer of Air Arabia, characterized the Krabi launch as a strategic milestone that provides customers with increased accessibility to Thailand’s most popular destinations. “This new daily service offers our customers greater convenience and strengthens the growing travel and trade links between the UAE and Thailand,” Al Ali stated.
The Krabi initiative coincides with Air Arabia’s broader network expansion strategy, which recently included the announcement of new twice-daily services connecting Sharjah to London Gatwick commencing March 29, 2026. These developments collectively represent the airline’s concerted effort to enhance its global footprint while reinforcing Sharjah International Airport’s position as a growing aviation hub.
