Air Arabia, the Middle East and North Africa’s first and largest budget carrier operator, today announced the launch of daily non-stop flights between Sharjah and Düsseldorf, starting 16 December 2026.
Düsseldorf becomes Air Arabia’s third destination in Germany from Sharjah, joining Munich and Frankfurt as part of the airline’s growing European network. The new route will be operated by Air Arabia’s Airbus A320neo, offering customers a modern and comfortable cabin experience while delivering greater operational efficiency and improved fuel performance.
Commenting on the announcement, Adel Al Ali, Group Chief Executive Officer, Air Arabia, said: “The launch of our new daily service to Düsseldorf marks another important milestone in the expansion of our European network and further strengthens connectivity between the United Arab Emirates and Germany.

Our focus remains on expanding our network and delivering reliable, value-driven travel.”
Lars Redeligx, CEO of Düsseldorf Airport, highlighted the significance of the new route: “We are very pleased to welcome Air Arabia to Düsseldorf.
