Operations to India Due to Start later this MonthSharjah, UAE, 14 March 2005 - Air Arabia LLC, one of the UAE's national airlines and the first low-cost airline of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa region, today announced the appointment of its Manager for India - Rohit Ramachandran.
Not only is Ramachandran well fitted for the role with his regional aviation background, but his experience with Air Arabia's Sales Department as their Commercial & Business Development Analyst for the last year gives him great brand insight and actual hands-on knowledge for introducing Air Arabia into the Indian market.
"Ramachandran is the obvious choice to fill this key position in India," said A.K. Nizar, Air Arabia's Head of Sales. He added: "He is a young, dynamic professional with a proven track record regionally and with Air Arabia itself. Ramachandran's regional insights will be essential to introducing our product and services to the Indian market, as well as developing existing and new business opportunities through raising customer awareness, visibility and effective communication of Air Arabia."
As Air Arabia's Commercial and Business Development Analyst for the last year, Ramachandran's role was to develop sales and distribution within the UAE, as well as new destinations that came online to improve access to customers across the region. Before joining Air Arabia, Ramachandran gathered extensive airline experience with Singapore Airlines and KLM. He graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Hotel Administration from the Welcomgroup Graduate School of Hotel Administration, Manipal, India and also obtained an MBA in International Marketing & E-Commerce from Leicester University, UK.
"The Indian market has always been part of Air Arabia's expansion plans and I look forward to developing this new destination and ultimately, addressing more of the region's travel needs," said Ramachandran. He added: "This is an opportunity for Air Arabia to contribute towards increasing tourism within India with the movement of traffic from the Gulf region, as well as offering numerous travel opportunities to the Indian public, whether for business or leisure."
India is Air Arabia's latest destination in its constantly expanding network - growing the airline's reach to 12 countries and 16 destinations within the Middle East, North Africa and the Indian Subcontinent. Flight schedules and fares for India will be announced later this month.
Air Arabia is a Sharjah government owned airline currently flying from Sharjah ten times a week to Alexandria; daily to Bahrain, Beirut, Colombo, Doha and Muscat; five days a week to Damascus and Kuwait; four days a week to Dammam; three days a week to Khartoum and Aleppo; and two days a week to Assiut, Jeddah, Riyadh and Sana'a.

It aims to make air travel more convenient and frequent, while providing the lowest fares in the market without sacrificing the standards of safety, quality or service offered.
