The new flights between Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata and Abu Dhabi International Airport are set to operate three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, according to the Airports Authority of India (AAI). 

Airports Authority of India (AAI) said in a statement on Thursday that the new flights would leave Abu Dhabi at 2.25 pm (local time) and reach Kolkata at 8.20 pm (local time) on all three days starting from March 15, 2023. The return flight is set to leave Kolkata at 9.05 pm (local time) and reach Abu Dhabi at 1.05 am (local time). The new airline is reportedly set to operate an Airbus A320 aircraft on the route.

Adel Al Ali, the group chief executive officer of Air Arabia, reportedly said in a statement that the services of the airline would provide convenient and affordable opportunities for business and cultural exchanges between the UAE and India.
