Dubai-based flydubai will commence new passenger services from Al Maktoum International at Dubai World Central (DWC) from October 25.

New flights to Amman, Beirut, Chittagong, Doha, Kathmandu, Kuwait and Muscat, for both business and economy passengers, will become available from DWC, as operations continue from Dubai International Airport.

Ghaith Al Ghaith, chief executive officer of flydubai, said: "The start of our new operations at DWC provides further opportunities for growth for flydubai as we take delivery of more than 100 new Boeing aircraft by 2023. We will continue to play an important role in the future of aviation in the UAE."

With the continued development of new communities in the south of Dubai, the airline sees the opportunity to meet its passengers' needs at DWC and provide them with greater choice and flexibility in their travel needs.

"This is great news for travellers to and from Dubai and a strong endorsement of the growth strategy planned for our two-airport city, as customers will now have the choice of a fast growing range of services at two world class airports. Customers of flydubai will benefit from the convenience and efficiency of the new facilities at DWC and the arrival of flydubai will see a significant increase in the choice of destinations available at DWC ", said Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports.

In a planned approach flydubai will progressively grow its operations at DWC over the next few years. In addition, flydubai Cargo will be available offering a range of transport solutions. – TradeArabia News Service
