Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone has any information on Air Arabia. I have an interview with them and was wondering if anyone can shed some light on the interview. Infact any information would be warmly welcomed.

Thanks all

Air arabia

hey sweetrain, Friendly environment are you OK??
most of the crew says it's the most unhealthy environment, they still have to learn from the other airlines,
PLZ compare the crew in airarbai with other crew??

hey guys, come on it is not flying at all just take off and landings, there nothing nice or interesting in that, the most interesting part of being a crew, is flying the world staying in 05 stars, layovers... if this is not avail with airarabia, what are you there for?? doing a sandwich service for less than 15 minutes...
i have the feeliong that you don't know nothing about real aviation, come on wake up and face the reality,
also most of the crew are embarrased to say they are flying airarabia, they feel reduce and diminished when they are with other airline crew!!

Yes they do, i believe they have a few femail pilots now.
As i recall correctly they became famous for employing first femail pilot in the UAE, was all over the news papers.

Air Arabia delays into Kabul

What's the go with flights being cancelled between DXB and KBL?

Rumour has it scAriana and their ground crews stiching up the operations and causing delays.

Are they gonna sort this **** out or should we cancel our bookings and go back to UNHAS

Female pilots

4 at present....1 Colombian, 2 Jamaican and 1 Irish. All very pleasant and nice to fly with. 1 will leave shortly to go to Emirates. We will miss her professionalism. Best of Luck!

Angry Now, let me see - Ariana ground handling - naah...

Let me remind you of some NOTAMS issued for Kabul airport.
Interesting read for an International Airport??!!

A0641/06 - ILS OUT OF SERVICE. 31 MAY 15:50 UNTIL PERM

'A1024/06 - DME AT KABUL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IS OUT OF SERVICE. 22 AUG 11:00 UNTIL 22 NOV 23:59'
A1023/06 - VOR AT KABUL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IS OUT OF SERVICE. 22 AUG 11:00 UNTIL 22 NOV 23:59

A0981/06 - KABUL APPROACH RADAR CONTROL IS OUT OF SERVICE DUE TO MAINTENANCE. BAGRAM APPROACH CONTROL WILL ASSUME THE AIRSPACE AND PROVIDE APPROACH CONTROL SERVICES FOR KABUL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. 17 AUG 23:59 UNTIL 07 SEP 23:59

A1022/06 - QXXXX THE KABUL AREA CONTROL CENTER IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE SERVICES DUE TO RADIO FAILURE. ADJACENT AREA CONTROL CENTERS ARE PROVIDING PROCEDURAL SEPERATION FOR ALL AIRCRAFT ENTERING AFGHANISTAN AIRSPACE. LEVEL CHANGES ARE NOT PERMITTED WHILE IN THE KABUL FIR. LIMITED VHF RADIO SERVICE MAY BE AVAILABLE WITHIN 80 MILES OF KABUL. TIBA BROADCAST PROCEDURE SHALL APPLY ON 128.5. WIE UNTIL UFN
I would assume that Air Arabia SOP's do not allow crew to operate into purely VFR airports (which Kabul currently is - and WX is coming).
Would be interesting to see what happens next...

AArabia

Sure do. I was surprised to see in the period of 5mins at OMSJ two of their first officers being female. I almost wondered if there are any male F/Os

and to make matters worse, the comm outage was caused by some plonker leaving his ECM eqpt turned on at the terminal, then parking and leaving his car.
