We have created a diverse network of 126 destinations, 60 percent of which previously had very limited or no connections to Dubai. “Our new services to the Baltic region and Basel will allow more people to travel comfortably through Dubai’s aviation hub, whether visiting Dubai or conveniently connecting to the flydubai network or further afield with our codeshare partner Emirates.”
Starting this month, the airline also began services to two destinations in Asia. On February 10, flights began from Terminal 3 of Dubai International Airport (DXB) to Penang International Airport (PEN) and Langkawi International Airport (LGK). It became the first airline to serve both airports with a daily service from Dubai. Flights to Langkawi operate via a short stopover in Penang.
