Oct 29, 2016: Dubai-based flydubai marked the second anniversary of its service between Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport and Dubai International's Terminal 2.
Started in 2014, with five direct flights a week, flydubai’s Mumbai operations offer enhanced connectivity, greater choice and flexibility from Mumbai to its home city of Dubai and beyond to 90 destinations on the growing flydubai network. Since the start of operations, traffic on the Dubai-Mumbai route has increased and has thus contributed to enhance the cultural, tourist and business links between the two markets.
Commenting on the second anniversary, Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO, flydubai, said, “We thank the Government authorities for their constant support throughout our journey in India. With trade between India and the United Arab Emirates crossing $ 59 billion between 2014 and 2015, the two countries are key trading partners. The demand remains strong for flights from Mumbai and we are proud to contribute to the strong relationship between India and the UAE. We remain committed quality and reliable travel services between the two countries.”
Sudhir Sreedharan, senior vice president, commercial (GCC, Subcontinent and Africa) for flydubai, said, “At this milestone of our anniversary in Mumbai, we would like to reiterate our commitment enabling connectivity between the two markets. We welcome all Indian travellers to experience flydubai’s dedicated service and Dubai hospitality.”
flydubai currently operates five flights a week between Mumbai and Dubai in addition to flights to seven more destinations across India including Ahmedabad, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kochi, Lucknow and Thiruvananthapuram.
