'OAG Analyser' brings an unprecedented level of advanced data
analysis functionality to the aviation industry. It is an easy-to-use
online tool for extracting real meaning and insight from airline
schedules data. By interrogating OAG's industry-leading databases,
'OAG Analyser' offers Air Arabia rapid access to detailed reports
ranging from airline and airport route development trends to aircraft
usage patterns.

Air Arabia, recently ranked by Aviation Week as the world's
second-best-performing airline, and the only Middle East carrier
among the magazine's 2012 'Top-Performing Airlines', will use 'OAG
Analyser' to ensure the airline continues its successful period of
growth through its multi-hub strategy.

The signing ceremony took place today at the World Route
Development Forum in Abu Dhabi, UAE and was attended by Air Arabia's
Group Chief Executive Officer Adel Ali who said: "At Air Arabia, we
always make use of valuable tools and systems to optimise efficiency
and support our growth. We are confident this new system will support
the airline's schedule proposition and market research."

John Grant, OAG's Executive Vice President, said: "The Middle
East's low-fare sector has demonstrated a dramatic pace of growth in
the last decade, with an average annual growth rate of 52% compared
to traditional carriers who have grown at an average rate of 7%
annually. This growth is due in large part to the expansion of Air
Arabia and we are delighted to secure the airline as an OAG customer.
With OAG Analyser, Air Arabia will be better placed to undertake
market research and maintain its leadership in the region."
