  Re: Air Arabia Egypt

  Air Arabia Egypt, a subsidiary of Sharjah-based Air Arabia, yesterday launched its first flight from Borg Al Arab International Airport in Alexandria to Khartoum, Sudan.
  
  Flights are being operated with two Airbus 320s.
  
  Adel Ali, chief executive of Air Arabia Group, said he would add three to four aircraft to the new base as it grows its destinations.
  
  New routes between Kuwait, Amman and Beirut will soon begin, the company said.
  
  Jointly owned by Air Arabia and Egypt's tourism company Travco Group, the airline, based in a country with a population of over 81 million, will target key cities across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
  
  Planning to grow "organically", the low-cost carrier's current fleet comprises 23 new Airbus A320 and it is waiting to take delivery of four aircraft in 2010 and six in 2011.
  
  The launch comes as the low-cost carrier nears completion of the first year of operations of Air Maroc, based in Casablanca, Morocco.
  
  "Working together with the Travco Group, with whom we share a vision of facilitating the economic growth and positive contribution to the Egyptian tourism sector, we remain committed to creating further opportunities for affordable and reliable travel across this young and vibrant region," Ali said.
