On Thursday (May 27, 2021), flydubai announced the launch of three weekly flights between Dubai and Sharm El Sheikh International Airport (SSH) in Egypt starting June 15, 2021. The new route will become the carrier’s second destination in Egypt, complementing existing service to Alexandria’s Borg El Arab International Airport (HBE). Service to the popular Egyptian resort city follows the announcement of service to six other summer seasonal holiday destinations including Bodrum and Trabzon (Turkey), Batumi (Georgia), Mykonos and Santorini (Greece and Tivat (Montenegro).


In Thursday’s announcement, flydubai’s Chief Executive Officer, Ghaith Al Ghaith, said,


“As more countries gradually lift restrictions on international travel, we are excited to grow our network and give passengers more options to travel this summer. Sharm El Sheikh has been a popular holiday destination for many years, and we expect to see strong demand for travel from the UAE and GCC.”


Also commenting on the launch of the new route, flydubai’s Senior Vice President of Commercial Operations – UAE, GCC. Africa and Indian Subcontinent, Sudhir Sreedharan, added,


“With demand for travel returning we can see from the enquiries that we are receiving that our customers are keen to travel again and are starting to make their travel plans. Sharm El Sheikh is another exciting destination for our passengers to visit for their summer holidays.”


While Sharm El Sheikh service will launch on June 15th, flydubai’s service to Batumi (Georgia) and Tivat (Montenegro) will restart on June 25th, with both destinations offering UAE residents a visa upon arrival. Flights to Bodrum and Trabzon in Turkey will start on June 4th and June 24th respectively, while Mykonos and Santorini flights will start on June 18th. Additionally, flydubai plans on adding service to Naples and Salzburg from July onwards.
