Air Arabia Abu Dhabi, the low-cost carrier based in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, announced the launch of seasonal operations to Yekaterinburg (SVX), Russia. This new route becomes the airline's second destination in the country, complementing its existing flights to Moscow (DME).
The service will operate twice weekly between Zayed International Airport (AUH) in Abu Dhabi and Koltsovo International Airport (SVX). Flights are scheduled to begin on October 27, 2025, and will run through March 27, 2026, covering the entire IATA winter season.
According to information released by the UAE's official news agency WAM, the route will be operated by the airline's fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft. Air Arabia Abu Dhabi currently maintains a fleet of 12 jets of this model, configured in a single-class, high-density layout.
