Air Arabia expanding in Morocco and Egypt, 7% pax growth 'easily achievable' in 2018

Air Arabia Group CEO Adel Al Ali described Egypt and Morocco as "good spots for us" (Bloomberg, 12-Feb-2018). He said Morocco "is going from strength to strength, and we're putting more capacity on those lines" and added: "Egypt is another one where we've grown a 100% year-on-year and we may grow more this year, particularly with tourism getting back to the Red Sea". Mr Ali said overall passenger traffic growth of 7% year-on-year is "easily achievable" in 2018.
