SHARJAH, UAE / RankWire.AI / – Air Arabia is set to introduce direct nonstop flights between Sharjah and Gdansk starting on Dec. 14, 2026, establishing a fresh link between the UAE and northern Poland. The airline will operate five weekly services between Sharjah International Airport and Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport. These flights will be available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, offering a convenient air route for travelers from Poland’s Pomeranian region to Sharjah.
On Mondays and Saturdays, Flight G9 0628 departs from Sharjah at 4 p.m. and arrives in Gdansk at 8 p.m., while the return flight G9 0629 departs Gdansk at 8:50 p.m. and reaches Sharjah at 6:10 a.m. the following day. For flights on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, departures from Sharjah are scheduled at 8:15 a.m., with Gdansk-bound flights leaving at 1:05 p.m. and arriving in Sharjah at 10:25 p.m. local times.
Following the launch, Gdansk will become Air Arabia’s fourth Polish destination from Sharjah, after the airline announced its December expansion plans. The carrier already offers flights to Krakow and Warsaw Chopin Airport from its main hub in the UAE. Additionally, flights to Katowice will commence on Dec. 17, 2026—just three days after the Gdansk route begins. The Katowice service will operate four times weekly, expanding the carrier’s reach into another Polish city within its expanding network.
Gdansk Enhances Direct Connectivity with Northern Poland
Introducing Gdansk to Air Arabia’s European network from Sharjah broadens the airline’s Baltic coast coverage. Besides Gdansk, Air Arabia also serves prominent European cities such as Athens, Vienna, Prague, Milan, Munich, Rome, and London Gatwick. Gdansk Airport caters to the broader Tri-City region, including Gdansk, Gdynia, and Sopot, in addition to other parts of northern Poland. It offers both domestic and international flights, facilitating travel for leisure and business travelers across the region.
Adel Al Ali, Group Chief Executive of Air Arabia, emphasized that the new Gdansk route will strengthen the airline’s footprint in Poland. Tomasz Kloskowski, President of Gdansk Airport, also underscored the direct link between the Pomeranian area and the UAE. The airport has identified Sharjah as a transfer hub for onward flights to destinations in India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and East Africa. These new flights will enable Gdansk passengers to connect seamlessly to Air Arabia’s extensive network via its hub in Sharjah.
Scheduled to Launch in December with Five Weekly Flights
Air Arabia operates Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft throughout its network and has opened reservations for the Gdansk route. The airline has scheduled flight G9 0628 for departures from Sharjah on Mondays and Saturdays, with G9 0629 handling the return flights. On Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, flights will use G9 0626 from Sharjah and G9 0627 from Gdansk. All schedules are listed in local times, and the route will operate nonstop both ways.
The service launch on Dec. 14 will extend Air Arabia’s direct flight options in Poland just ahead of its Katowice service debut. With Krakow and Warsaw already part of the network, the addition of Gdansk and Katowice in December will bring the total Polish destinations served from Sharjah to four. Gdansk will see five flights each week, while Katowice will have four weekly flights according to the announced timetable. The airline continues to confirm the Gdansk start date and five flights per week schedule for December 2026.
