flydubai has expanded its operations by launching six new routes to Cagliari, Corfu, Krabi, Milan, and Pattaya in 2023. The airline also plans to resume its twice-weekly services to Hofuf in November 2022.
The addition of these six routes will see the flydubai network expand to 113 destinations in 53 countries. This represents a significant milestone as it is the largest number of destinations the carrier will serve since it began operations.
Commenting on the expansion of the airline’s network, Ghaith Al Ghaith, Chief Executive Officer at flydubai, said: “I am very proud to see our network grow bigger than ever. Dubai’s aviation industry has made a swift recovery, and our agility combined with our strong business model has enabled us to grow our operations and achieve this significant milestone. With 113 destinations now available to book, we look forward to offering our passengers more options for travel across our ever-growing network.”
Commenting on the launch of flights to these destinations, Jeyhun Efendi, Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations and E-commerce at flydubai, said: “We are excited to announce the launch of year-round flights to Milan in Italy and seasonal summer flights to Corfu in Greece and Cagliari in Italy. We are pleased to see our network in Europe grow and to serve five destinations in Italy.”
Sudhir Sreedharan, Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations (UAE, GCC, Subcontinent, and Africa) at flydubai, added: “We are delighted to offer our passengers more options for travel with our new flights to Krabi and Pattaya. Thailand has always been a popular choice, particularly with passengers from the GCC, CIS, and Europe.”
Since the start of 2022, flydubai has launched flights to more than 20 destinations, including Pisa and Catania in Italy, Osh in Kyrgyzstan as well as Samarkand and Namangan in Uzbekistan.
