That extra "S" is a common mistake anyway!
Amazingly nobody has paid attention to the news about air arabia with 100 new A/C in 5 years! Air arabia is becoming an exemplary model of the booming LCC.

Air Arabia depended heavily on DXB traffic for it's performance. How will FlyDubai affect their future plans?
Have to wonder if they will open a hub in Bahrain given there will be 3 airlines in that country all trying to fight for the DMM traffic.

G9 are lobbying the Egyptian authorities strongly to approve 'Air Arabia Egypt' with operations out of CAI. It will be an uphill struggle to get the necessary approval.
G9 currently operate 25x weekly flights from SHJ to Egypt; ALY (18x), ATZ (4x) and LXR (3x).

100 aircraft
Well guys, speaking of different hubs falls in line with all the aircraft. I hear they are working on Cairo...so we will see!
Where else do you think would be feasible?

If you believe all the "confirmed" orders from everyone in the ME, expect to see around 1000 additional new planes out here in the next 10-15 years.
Nevertheless, an 'Air Arabia Egypt' LoCo with flights to Europe as well as the ME probably makes more sense than some of the other concepts being used right now.

Makes sense!! Could this be the time to purchase Arabia shares in the DFM? Casablanca base is already showing positive signs...Second and third quarter results may continue to show positive trends!

i searched the A.A. website yet i do not see any new postings on the
press section for 100 planes? nor do i see selection dates for hiring, so i
ask anyone where did you hear about 100 planes?? and if so what might
be the delivery dates for these planes?

If you read the link which was the first post made in this thread you will see...or do a google search! I agree that the press section on the website says nothing; also there are no interview dates yet. The thread started from the news article which was written.
