Dubai, UAE; Dubai-based
flydubai today announced that its operations to Delhi, Kochi and
Thiruvananthapuram will commence next month.
flydubai will operate four
weekly flights to Delhi from 01 June and
three weekly flights to both Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram from 02/03
June respectively, bringing the total number of Indian cities served by the
carrier to six, including its existing routes Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and Lucknow.
Ghaith Al Ghaith, Chief
Executive Officer of flydubai, said: “I would like to take this opportunity to
thank the authorities for granting us the approval to operate these flights
between Dubai and India. The two nations share a lot of historic and cultural
ties and the new flights will increase the trade and tourism potential while enabling
the Indian expatriate community in the UAE to travel home to visit friends and
family more often.”
flydubai has seen strong
demand for its flights since the start of its operations to India in 2010. The
carrier was set up by the Dubai Government to offer passengers convenient and
reliable services and an unrivalled onboard experience and create free flows of
trade and tourism in previously underserved markets.
Commenting on the launch of
the three new destinations, Sudhir Sreedharan, Senior Vice President Commercial
(GCC, Subcontinent, Africa) for flydubai said: “These new flights will give
passengers from different regions in India direct links to Dubai, enhancing
flight connectivity beyond the city to GCC countries and to destinations in
Africa, Central Asia, Russia and Europe, most of which have no or very few
direct links to India.”
flydubai will deploy Business
Class configured aircraft on all three new routes, giving passengers the option
of a more personalised flying experience on the ground and in the air.
flydubai operates a fleet of
36 brand new Next-Generation Boeing 737-800 aircraft and has built a network of
74 destinations, 48 of which were underserved markets like Gassim and Abha in
KSA, Azerbaijan, Romania, South Sudan and Kazan and Ufa in Russia.
