Air Arabia, one of the Middle East's major low-cost airlines, has announced the launch of a new flight service between Sharjah and Munich. Starting December 15, 2025, the route will be served daily with an Airbus A320neo aircraft. For Munich Airport, this further strengthens its role in traffic to and from the Gulf states, while Munich will be the first German destination served directly by Air Arabia from Sharjah.
Sharjah, the capital of the emirate of the same name, is located about a half-hour drive from Dubai and is known as the cultural capital of the United Arab Emirates. The new direct connection provides travelers from southern Germany with direct access to this region and its attractions. Air Arabia also offers a variety of other connections to destinations in the Middle East and Asia via Sharjah, increasing the attractiveness of the new connection for long-distance travelers.
Oliver Dersch, Senior Vice President Aviation at Munich Airport, welcomed the announcement and emphasized the expansion of travel options for Munich Airport's passengers. Founded in 2003, Air Arabia has established itself as a major player in the low-cost airline segment in the Arab world, serving an extensive network of destinations. The decision to include Munich as the first German direct destination underscores the airport's growing importance as an international air traffic hub. Flights are already available for booking.
