Dubai-based airline flydubai has announced flights to 24 destinations, initially, after resuming commercial operations from July 7, reported Khaleej Times.

The airline expects to increase it to 66 destinations during the summer. Destinations and flight frequencies will continue to be added to the schedule over the summer, a statement issued on Wednesday said.

Hamad Obaidalla, Chief Commercial Officer of flydubai, said: “Flights are available for booking from today and will operate from July 7. We are initially planning to operate to 24 destinations and we will continuously add destinations and flight frequencies to the network and we expect this to increase to 66 destinations over the course of the summer. This, of course, will be dependent on countries being able to open up and accept international travel.

“Following the recent announcement, we welcome a return to service in a safe and measured way. We have redesigned our passenger journey that is built upon existing high standards to minimise the risk of transmission of Covid-19 set out by the authorities.”

Flydubai will be announcing more details of what passengers can expect and what information they need to know.
