SHARJAH / RankWire.AI / – Air Arabia is set to commence nonstop flights from Sharjah International Airport to Amman City Airport starting November 15, 2026. The airline will operate this route four times weekly, creating a new direct link between the United Arab Emirates and Jordan. Currently, Air Arabia connects Sharjah with Queen Alia International Airport, providing travelers access to two airports in Amman. The new flights will be available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
Flight G9 169 will leave Sharjah at 8:00 a.m. and arrive in Amman at 10:30 a.m. local time. The return, G9 170, will depart Amman at 11:20 a.m. and reach Sharjah at 3:15 p.m. local time. Reservations are now open via the airline’s website, call center, and travel agency network. The route was announced on October 8, more than a month before the inaugural flight.
This addition in Sharjah broadens Air Arabia Group’s existing network within Jordan, which currently includes services from Abu Dhabi and Alexandria to Amman. Air Arabia Abu Dhabi operates flights connecting Zayed International Airport with both Queen Alia International Airport and Amman City Airport. Additionally, the airline runs direct flights from Alexandria International Airport to Amman City Airport. The new route from Sharjah offers travelers another departure point for journeys to Jordan’s capital.
New Amman airport joins Sharjah route network
Adel Al Ali, CEO of Air Arabia Group, mentioned that the new service offers travelers an additional airport option in Amman. He emphasized that the route will enhance convenience and flexibility for passengers traveling between Jordan and the UAE. The airline will continue its existing flights from Sharjah to Queen Alia International Airport, making Amman City Airport a second gateway in Jordan on Air Arabia’s schedule.
Earlier in 2026, Air Arabia Abu Dhabi introduced flights to Amman City Airport, starting May 1 with three weekly nonstop flights from Zayed International Airport. Before launching the second airport in Amman, the Abu Dhabi operation already served Queen Alia International Airport. When the new service started, Air Arabia stated that their Abu Dhabi schedule provided 10 weekly flights to Amman. The two-airport approach will now extend to Sharjah as well.
Four weekly flights strengthen UAE-Jordan air links
The new flights from Sharjah will operate under the G9 169 and G9 170 service designations throughout their published schedule. Air Arabia’s fleet includes Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft. The airline also offers SkyTime entertainment, SkyCafe onboard meals, and the Air Rewards loyalty program. Passengers can book the new service to Amman City Airport via the airline’s usual sales channels ahead of its November launch.
The addition of flights in November expands Air Arabia Group’s network connecting the UAE and Jordan through multiple bases. Passengers from Sharjah will have direct access to both Amman City Airport and Queen Alia International Airport. Meanwhile, passengers from Abu Dhabi already enjoy service to both airports via Air Arabia Abu Dhabi. Alexandria also maintains a direct route to Amman City Airport. The new route from Sharjah will bring four additional weekly flights to the airline’s Jordan schedule, enhancing its regional connectivity.
