Flydubai, the Dubai-based airline, is expanding its presence in the European market by launching four new destinations: Chișinău (Moldova), Iași (Romania), Riga (Latvia), and Vilnius (Lithuania).
The new routes will be gradually introduced starting from September (Chișinău and Iași) and December (Riga and Vilnius), strengthening the airline's network to 135 destinations in 58 countries, 35 of which are in Europe.
The company will be the first from the UAE to offer direct flights to Iași, Riga, and Vilnius, thereby expanding its network to over 100 markets that previously had no direct connection to Dubai.
According to Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO of Flydubai:
"The expansion of our network reflects our commitment to opening up underserved markets and promoting free trade and tourism. The new routes will deepen the economic and cultural ties of the UAE with the countries of Eastern and Northern Europe."
"Europe continues to be a key market for us," added Jeyhun Efendi, Senior Vice President at the company. "The new routes will allow travelers to enjoy a convenient and connected flight experience - also through our cooperation with Emirates."
