Return flights will depart Nairobi at 14:35PM and arrive in Sharjah at 20:40PM. Nairobi will be Air Arabia’s first destination in Kenya, fourth in Africa and 42nd worldwide.
 
“Air Arabia is pleased to announce the launch of service to both the capital and largest city in Kenya,” said AK Nizar, Head of Commercial Department, Air Arabia. “We currently offer one of the most comprehensive destination networks in the Middle East and North Africa, and the opening of our newest destination in Nairobi reflects our commitment to expand into new regions. 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.”  
 
Nairobi is the political, financial and tourism capital of Kenya and is East Africa’s most populous city. Home to the Nairobi Stock Exchange, one of the largest in the world, Air Arabia will soon offer competitively priced flights to one of East Africa’s most prominent cities.
