FLYDUBAI SET TO SOAR WITH NEW ROUTES
On the heels of a successful year, Flydubai hit the ground running in 2023 with the addition and resumption of several routes.
In January 2023, the Dubaibased airline resumed operations to Ashgabat in Turkmenistan, with a twice-weekly service from January 23. With the resumption of flights to Ashgabat – the capital and largest city in Turkmenistan – the carrier expanded its network in Central Asia to nine points in five countries.

Building on the long history of trade relations between the UAE and Kazakhstan, Flydubai also announced the resumption of flights to Shymkent. The twice-weekly service grows the carrier’s network in Kazakhstan to three destinations, including
Almaty and Astana. Furthermore, in March 2023, Flydubai became the first carrier to connect Somalia directly with Dubai and the UAE, with the launch of a daily service to Mogadishu. This move also saw the airline expand its network in Africa to 11 destinations.
In another first for the airline, Flydubai became the first UAE-based carrier to offer flights to Neom in Saudi Arabia, while further expanding its network in the kingdom to include Najran, Al Qaisumah and Jizan.
Flydubai operates flights to more than 116 destinations in the world, many of which were underserved markets that did not previously have direct air links to Dubai. The growing network is served by a fleet of 76 Boeing 737 aircraft.
