Majid Al Futtaim—the leading shopping mall, communities, retail and leisure pioneer across the Middle East, Africa and Asia—has made the dreams of several shoppers come true with free Air Arabia tickets as part of the ‘For the Love of Travel’ initiative at City Centre Sharjah and City Centre Ajman.

Selamawit Gebresilassie Sadiq, who shopped at Carrefour in City Centre Sharjah, is among the first few winners who can now start planning their family summer escape to any of the Air Arabia destinations. “I was surprised when I received a call from City Centre Sharjah. I thought it was a prank. It’s my first time to win something and I’m very excited to go on a trip with my husband.” said Sadiq.

Another loyal customer of City Centre Sharjah, Elaine Camposano, also won tickets to her dream destination. “I purchased a MacBook and a week later, I got a call to inform me that I have won a flight ticket.” Camposano has already planned a whirlwind trip to Georgia. “I’m so happy and excited as it is my first time winning something.”

City Centre Sharjah and City Centre Ajman collaborated with Air Arabia, the Middle East and Africa’s first and largest low-cost carrier, in April to give shoppers an opportunity to win 120 tickets to a destination of their choice. Customers who spend AED 200 at City Centre Sharjah and City Centre Ajman enter a draw to win two Air Arabia tickets daily.

The fun didn’t stop there. The malls had created an engaging and fun atmosphere for everyone with an exciting aircraft simulator that visitors could experience. Participants sat in a real aircraft passenger seat and got transported to their favourite destination, making this the perfect selfie moment to share with friends on social media.
