Flydubai, Dubai’s leading low cost airline, will launch service to Samara on October 20, making the West Russian city its 24th destination.

Samara will be the airline’s second Russian city, to follow after its first flight to Russia, which will be to Yekaterinburg on October 16.

“Traffic between Russia and Dubai is developing and we at flydubai are pleased to be playing our part in ensuring business and leisure travellers from both countries can discover the benefits of travel between our two nations,” said Ghaith Al Ghaith, flydubai CEO.

“The introduction of flydubai’s direct service to Samara provides an option for travellers to the Samara Oblast region, which is an important area near the river Volga,” he added.

Flydubai Dubai-Samara flights will operate twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays. – TradeArabia News Service
