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.

"The opening of our newest destination in Nairobi reflects our commitment to expand into new regions," AK Nizar, head of the airline's commercial department, was quoted as saying.

"The new route is reflective of Air Arabia's commitment toward African expatriate communities in the UAE and the wider Gulf region by providing them with the best value for money service to key destinations," he added.
