Since Flydubai’s announcement last week on introducing new routes to Assiut and Istanbul, Flydubai have now revealed plans to add flights to Kabul and Luxor to its growing network.
Dubai to Kabul will be served 5 times a week from 17th May 2010 and Dubai to Luxor will be served 3 times a week from 19th May 2010.
The Kabul to Dubai route is already served daily by Ariana Afghan Airlines, Kam Air, Pamir Air and Safi Airways. The CEO of Flydubai, Ghaith al Ghaith had the following to say about the introduction of the new routes
Again these routes are a combination of the two different types of destinations we were set up to serve – those which have very few direct links to the UAE and those which are already popular routes but would benefit from having an additional low cost option. Kabul and Luxor are both fascinating places. Luxor boasts some of the most incredible historical sights on the planet, such as the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Karnak. Kabul is going through a very turbulent time, but providing air links on a quality airline flying the newest, safest aircraft in the industry will ensure the brave people working to secure and develop the country will have a safe, comfortable and affordable travel option.
