Flydubai is due to begin flights to Bishkek in the Kyrgyz Republic on February 7. This is the airline’s 50th destination.
The new service will operate twice a week, departing Dubai on Tuesdays and Fridays, with flights from Bishkek to Dubai leaving on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Ghaith Al-Ghaith, flydubai CEO, said: "We are proud to launch our latest services, bringing our destinations in the former Soviet Union to 12. It is also a significant milestone for us as the 50th destination we have announced — quite an achievement since our first flight in June 2009.”
Al-Ghaith said: "We have already launched operations to a number of cities in Central Asia and we believe Bishkek will be just as well received. We are confident it will prove popular with people seeking alternative travel destinations, as well as offering people in the Kyrgyz Republic a gateway to the Middle East, the Indian sub-continent and Africa through the flydubai network."
