Air Arabia spokesperson said:

"Air Arabia categorically denies unfounded reports issued today by Bloomberg and a section of the media regarding “Air Arabia Abu Dhabi” plans and future operations. We have not issued any official statement regarding our growth strategy nor has any official interview taken place with any news agency. We are disappointed that distorted statements are made without any basis and disclaim any merit to the false report. We will announce growth plans as such when they are finalised and through our official channels."
