Air Arabia has taken its third aircraft delivery of 2012 and another three aircraft are expected by the end of the year, it was announced on Saturday. The Sharjah-based carrier’s 31st aircraft has gone straight into service across its 75-destination network served from the carrier’s main hubs in the UAE, Morocco and Egypt. The latest Airbus A320 arrived on schedule from Airbus’ Toulouse facility, marking the delivery of a total of 11 out of 44 A320 aircraft ordered back in 2007. Once completed in 2016, the delivery of the 44 A320 aircraft will more than double the size of Air Arabia’s existing fleet, bringing the airline’s total operating fleet to over 50 aircraft.
