Flydubai starts operating three daily flights between Colombo and Dubai

Flydubai has started operating three daily flights between Dubai and Colombo on all days of the week except Tuesday, with effect from February 1 .
These services offer passengers originating from or coming to Colombo with convenient connections from Russia, Ukraine and other Eastern European states, Central Asia, Africa and Gulf Cooperation Council countries, said Flydubai Commercial Manager Sri Lanka  and the  Maldives Gehan Silva, during  a  meeting with Aviation State Minister D.V. Chanaka 

Flydubai’s announcement shows a bold sense of optimism for the forthcoming spring and summer 2022 travel demand. The Dubai-based airline’s new destinations envisaged in a post-pandemic environment appeals to a mixture of business and leisure travellers that will help address the pent-up demand for travel to new destinations. 
The airline currently operates a single fleet type of 59 Boeing 737 aircraft, including 34 Next-Generation Boeing 737-800, 22 Boeing 737-8MAX and three Boeing 737-9MAX aircraft. Having carried more than 75 million passengers since its launch in June 2009, Flydubai boasts a network of 95 destinations in 50 countries. 
Some 22 destinations joined the Flydubai network last year, as the company built back from the devastating impact of the pandemic.
