Air Arabia, the Sharjah-based low-cost carrier will start a service to Nairobi, Kenya, beginning Oct. 26, UAE's official news agency reported on Sunday.

Flights will initially operate four times per week between Nairobi and Air Arabia's Sharjah hub, it said.

Nairobi will be Air Arabia's first destination in Kenya, its fourth in Africa and its 42nd worldwide.
