Operations: Air Arabia PJSC generates revenue primarily from its airline segment, amounting to AED6.70 billion.

Dividend Yield: 5.6%

Air Arabia PJSC's dividend yield of 5.58% is below the top quartile in the AE market, and its dividend history has been unreliable over the past decade due to volatility. Despite this, dividends are well-covered by earnings and cash flows with payout ratios of 75.4% and 70.2%, respectively. Recent earnings growth, with Q3 net income rising to AED 582.5 million from AED 525.02 million last year, supports its ability to maintain dividends amid fluctuating payments historically.
