Air Arabia will add Rome to its European network, further building on its presence in Italy. The airline already operates non-stop flights to Milan–Bergamo, and the addition of Rome means it will offer daily service to two destinations in the country.
The route will be operated by the Airbus A320neo, an aircraft the carrier has recently added to its fleet. The aircraft offers improvements in fuel efficiency, emissions output and cabin comfort compared to earlier variants.
“We are pleased to further expand our European footprint with the launch of daily flights to Rome, one of the world’s most iconic and culturally significant cities. Expanding our presence in Italy reflects our continued commitment to offering convenient, direct connectivity to key international destinations while delivering reliable, value-driven travel options to our customers,” Adel Al Ali, Group Chief Executive Officer, Air Arabia said in a statement.

Flights G9 0662 and G9 0663 will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. The outbound service departs Sharjah at 16:20 and arrives in Rome at 21:00, while the return departs Rome at 22:00 and arrives in Sharjah at 06:05.
“We are pleased to welcome Air Arabia, a new carrier that will connect Rome to the United Arab Emirates. The new service to Sharjah will further expand and diversify the offering to the Arabian Peninsula, reaffirming the strategic importance of the Roman market and strengthening Fiumicino’s international standing as a Skytrax 5 Star Airport and Best Airport in Europe for the past nine consecutive years, thanks to the quality of the services offered to our passengers,” Ivan Bassato, Chief Aviation Officer of Aeroporti di Roma added.
Air Arabia operates a fleet comprising Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft. Passengers on the Rome route will have access to ‘SkyTime’, the airline’s in-flight streaming service, which is offered without charge, as well as ‘SkyCafe’, its onboard menu. The airline also runs ‘Air Rewards’, a loyalty programme it describes as the most generous in the region.
Tickets for the Sharjah–Rome route are available to book through Air Arabia’s website, its call centre, or through travel agencies.
