8-Hour Route: Air Arabia Launches 3rd Daily Nonstop Flight To London [Map]

Air Arabia is expanding its newest long-haul route just weeks after launching flights to the United Kingdom. Beginning on October 25, 2026, the Sharjah-based low-cost carrier will increase its Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) – London Gatwick Airport (LGW) service from twice daily to three daily nonstop flights, all operated by the Airbus A321LR. The move comes quickly after the route debuted on July 4, highlighting stronger-than-expected demand for travel between the UAE and the UK.
