Aramex Signs Air Arabia
Global logistics provider Aramex has signed an express cargo handling agreement with Air Arabia, the low-cost airline based in Sharjah, UAE.
Under the new agreement, Aramex will operate an express sorting hub at Air Arabia’s cargo facility at Sharjah for courier shipments.
"The agreement with Air Arabia and the opening of our new hub in Sharjah is in line with Aramex’s strategic focus on enriching its service offering to customers by mobilising express consignments in the most competitive transit time and at reduced costs,” said Aramex COO Osama Fattaleh.
AK Nizar, Head of Commercial at Air Arabia added, “The new partnership with Aramex is in-line with Air Arabia’s efforts to grow its cargo operations and ancillary revenues. Aramex represents a strategic partner for us in further strengthening our presence in the cargo service segment."
Air Arabia operates a fleet of A320s throughout the Middle East, Africa, Indian subcontinent and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). In April 2009 it launched a second hub from Casablanca to provide scheduled services to Milan, Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Brussels, London and Barcelona.
Aramex is a publicly traded company listed as Arab International Logistics on the Dubai Financial Market.
