At yesterday’s press announcement Ali told reporters
the 49-aircraft order was made to sustain the growth out of its Sharjah hub
and not to build a fleet for other hubs.
Ali said details have not yet been finalized on how much of a stake Air Arabia will ultimately take in the Moroccan carrier, and whether the airline will fly with the Air Arabia livery.
But he said it would cater primarily to its domestic Moroccan market, with some routes to Africa and Europe and a select few to the Middle East.
