Dubai: Flydubai, the low-cost airline of Dubai, Monday announced the launch of new flights to India’s Hyderabad city from June 11.
Hyderabad will be the airline’s 37th destination. The flights would operate three times a week.
This would give the 1.4 million-strong Indian community in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) a “timely yet low-cost connection to their home country” during the peak summer holiday season, an official said.
Ghaith Al Ghaith, Flydubai’s chief executive officer, said: “We are delighted to announce Hyderabad as our latest destination. There is a huge Indian community in the UAE and one of the reasons Flydubai was established was to provide low cost, quality links to places the expat community in the UAE wish to travel to. Hyderabad is an important new route for Flydubai and goes a long way in our efforts to fulfil that commitment.”
“While our Lucknow route provides a gateway to north and central lndia, our Hyderabad route will be a low-cost connection to south India,” he added.
