Rotana Extends UAE Network

Three months after launching scheduled domestic service in the UAE with flights to Sir Bani Yas and Delma Islands from Abu Dhabi’s Al Bateen Executive Airport, Rotana Jet extended its offering on September 19 to double-daily Embraer ERJ-145 service from Abu Dhabi International Airport to Fujairah. Exactly a week later, the upstart regional airline started twice-daily flights from Abu Dhabi International to Al Ain. Plans for the immediate future include the addition of service to Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah and Ruwais, said Rotana Jet, which expects to double its fleet complement to four airplanes by year-end.
