Flydubai inaugurates Kazakhstan routes

DUBAI, September 17, 2014

Dubai-based flydubai has launched its flights to Kazakhstan with the inaugural flight landing at the Almaty International Airport.

The airline will also fly to Shymkent in the country.

The flight was received by Akhmetzhan Yessimov, mayor of Almaty; Askar Mussinov, deputy minister of foreign affairs of Kazakhstan, and other senior officials.

On board the flight were Hussain Nasser Lootah, director general of Dubai Municipality, flydubai’s chief executive officer Ghaith Al Ghaith, and senior vice president commercial (UAE, EU, ME, CIS), Jeyhun Efendi.

"The start of flydubai’s direct flights from Dubai to Almaty and Shymkent, provides a convenient link between these economic hubs in the Middle East and Central Asia. It marks a milestone in the relations between our countries and sees the expansion of flydubai’s network in the region to five countries," Al Ghaith said.

Kazakhstan and the UAE have both demonstrated impressive growth in various industries, including oil, Islamic finance and construction. With flights from Dubai operating four times a week to Almaty and twice a week to Shymkent, these routes present new opportunities for increasing business, tourism and trade. – TradeArabia News Service
