Air Arabia????

Does anybody knows this flight company???? Which country are they belonging to???
Is it safe for Israelis to use them (including a connection on the way to Amman)???

it looks like the cheapest flight company for flying from India to Jordan.....

I've flown Air Arabia, their HQ is in the emirate of Sharjah in the UAE.

I'm sure an Israeli on the plane is as safe as anybody else on it. As for the entry issues you might face in different countries I don't know the answer.

It's a very good budget airline, which I've used several times. I also can't answer regarding whether there is any entry issue (presumably for transit at Sharjah).

As an Israeli myself, I would not use this airline. I have no reason to think it's not safe from a technical point of view, but what if there is an unexpected delay or emergency and everyone has to get off the plane in the UAE and maybe spend the night there? The UAE doesn't object to Israeli stamps in a passport, but it does not permit entry to Israeli passport holders. What would you do then?

There is no reason at all why an Israeli passport holder cant fly with Air Arabia, they are a very decent budget airline. However, while I think Suffaluff makes a good point, really you shouldn't have a problem, worst case you'll have to stay in the airport.
