Flydubai adds new destinations

Dubai-based airline flydubai has announced the launch of additional routes bringing its network to more than 80 destinations.

The budget carrier will operate three weekly flights to Sharm El Sheikh International Airport (SSH) from June 15. It will be flydubai’s second destination in Egypt after Alexandria.

Ghaith Al Ghaith, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at flydubai said, “As more countries gradually lift restrictions on international travel, we are excited to grow our network and give passengers more options to travel this summer. Sharm El Sheikh has been a popular holiday destination for many years and we expect to see strong demand for travel from the UAE and GCC.”

Flydubai will restart its operations to Batumi in Georgia and Tivat in Montenegro from June 25 and both destinations offer UAE residents visa on arrival. Flights to Bodrum and Trabzon in Turkey will start from June 4 and 24, respectively. The carrier plans to start flights to Naples in Italy and Salzburg in Austria from July onwards.

Sudhir Sreedharan, senior vice-president of Commercial Operations for the UAE, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Africa and the Indian subcontinent at flydubai said, “With demand for travel returning we can see from the enquiries that we are receiving that our customers are keen to travel again and are starting to make their travel plans. Sharm El Sheikh is another exciting destination for our passengers to visit for their summer holidays.”
