flydubai Adds Direct Flights To Kish Island And Kerman In Iran

Flydubai has announced the introduction of direct flights to two new Iranian destinations. Starting from September 7, the airline will operate a four-times weekly service to Kish Island, and from September 9, a twice-weekly service to Kerman.

The flights will depart from Terminal 2 at Dubai International Airport (DXB), with Emirates codesharing on these routes to provide passengers with more connection options through Dubai's international aviation hub.

The flights to Kish International Airport (KIH) will be available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Flights to Kerman International Airport (KER) will operate on Mondays and Thursdays. Flydubai currently serves over 125 destinations, including 90 underserved markets that previously lacked direct air links to Dubai. The airline also began daily services to Islamabad and Lahore in Pakistan today.

Hamad Obaidalla, Chief Commercial Officer at flydubai, stated, "We have continued to look for opportunities to open up underserved markets and so we are pleased to offer our customers more convenient options for travel to Iran. flydubai is dedicated to creating free flows of trade and tourism and with Kerman and Kish Island as our newest destinations, we look forward to providing our passengers more opportunities to explore our extensive network."

Later this year, flydubai plans to add Basel in Switzerland from August 2, Riga in Latvia from October 11, as well as Tallinn in Estonia and Vilnius in Lithuania from October 12 to its growing list of destinations.
