flydubai To Add Four New European Destinations

Presently, flydubai operates flights to 39 destinations in Europe. By mid-October 2024, that figure will increase to 43 and the number of European countries it serves to 21.

On August 2, 2024, flydubai will become the first UAE-based carrier to operate direct flights between Dubai and EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg. The airport gives easy access to three countries as it is situated on the borders of northwest Switzerland, the Alsace region in France and Baden-Württemberg in Germany. Flight numbers FZ 1425/1426 will serve passengers on this route four times a week, with fares starting from AED 1,500 or CHF 500.

A little over two months later, on October 11, 2024, flydubai will commence three weekly flights (FZ 1441/1442) to and fro Riga International Airport, Latvia. Fares start from AED 1,920 or EUR 380. The following day, October 12, 2024, the Dubai-based airline will start three times-a-week services to and fro Tallinn Airport, Estonia (FZ 1479/1480) and Vilnius International Airport, Lithuania (FZ 1263/1264). The ticket prices start from AED 2,100 (or EUR 490) and AED 2,180 (or EUR 380), respectively.

All four services mentioned above will operate from Terminal 3 of the Dubai International Airport.

Etihad Launches Interline Partnerships With Five Airlines

The national carrier of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Etihad Airways, has introduced reciprocal interline partnerships with five airlines: Kam Air in Afghanistan, Sky Express in Greece, Rex Airlines in Australia, Jeju Air in Korea, and Myanmar Airways International.

The agreement will benefit travellers on all carriers mentioned above. They can book an entire journey on a single ticket and have their baggage checked in to their destination. For instance, passengers from Etihad’s hub—Zayed International Airport, Abu Dhabi—can connect to the Kam Air flight to Kabul without having to claim or recheck-in their luggage.

Similarly, travellers aboard any of the two daily Etihad flights to Athens can use Sky Express’s network of 28 destinations in Greece. Rex Airlines, which serves 22 destinations across Australia, including Hobart, Canberra, Adelaide, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, will serve passengers from Etihad’s links in Sydney and Melbourne.

Jeju Air provides similar access from Seoul to 27 destinations across seven Northeast Asian countries. Myanmar Airways International can connect passengers to Yangon and Mandalay through Etihad’s gateways in South Asia.

With the new interline partnerships active, Etihad Airways has boosted its list of global codeshare, interline and strategic partnerships with carriers to 123.
