Air Arabia Abu Dhabi, the UAE capital’s first low-cost carrier, has announced the introduction of its City Check-in services in Abu Dhabi.
“The City Check-in service aims to provide passengers with added convenience and flexibility by enabling them to drop off their baggage and collect their boarding pass at a location near them before traveling with Air Arabia,” said the airline in a statement.
“The service allows passengers to select seats and receive their boarding passes and baggage claim tags. They can then immediately proceed to the flight upon arrival at Abu Dhabi International Airport,” it added.
Located at the Air Arabia Sales Shop in Abu Dhabi, the centres will accept baggage from 24 up to eight hours before departure, which is then transported directly to Abu Dhabi International Airport. The sales shop is located next to Jumbo Electronics on Hamdan Street in Abu Dhabi and is open daily from 9 am to 8 pm.
The airline, a joint venture between Air Arabia and Etihad Airways was launched in July 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic with a maiden flight to the Egyptian port city of Alexandria from Abu Dhabi. Since then, it has introduced several new routes including Baku, Karachi, Istanbul, Jaipur, Chennai, Ahmedabad and Manama. The airline aims to attract more tourists, feed into Etihad’s long-haul network and offer affordable travel options to UAE residents.
