Low-cost carrier Air Arabia inaugurated nonstop flights between Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) and Warsaw Modlin (WMI) on Christmas Eve, adding a second Warsaw gateway to its network alongside the existing daily Sharjah–Warsaw Chopin rotation. The new four-times-weekly service means the airline now operates 24 weekly frequencies on UAE-to-Poland routes, including ten weekly Sharjah–Kraków flights.
Context: Demand for Middle-East links has grown sharply as Polish construction, IT-services and aviation-maintenance firms deepen commercial ties with the Gulf. The Modlin airport, 40 km north-west of the capital, offers lower landing fees than Chopin and is popular with price-sensitive travellers and seasonal workers flying on to regional airports via the domestic rail network.

For travellers who need to organise entry permits quickly, VisaHQ can streamline the paperwork. Through its dedicated Poland page (https://www.visahq.com/poland/), the platform offers online visa applications, real-time status tracking and expert support, helping UAE residents, Polish corporations and their assignees cut lead times when planning Gulf–Europe trips.
Corporate-mobility implications:
• Recruiters sourcing talent from the UAE can now book one-stop routings into Mazovia avoiding peak slots at Chopin.
• Travel-policy savings: return fares on the Modlin route are launching at roughly 15 % below the Sharjah–Chopin average.
• Assignees holding UAE residence permits can use Air Arabia’s through-check-in to onward European Schengen destinations under a single ticket, simplifying visa-compliance checks at departure.
Practical tips: Modlin station is connected by Koleje Mazowieckie trains; corporate travellers should pre-book the 40-minute shuttle to Warsaw Central to avoid holiday-period taxi queues. Air Arabia has loaded the route into all major GDS platforms with the code “G9 279/280.”
