Dubai-based flydubai last week commenced its Bangkok service, marking the start of its first double daily route outside of the GCC. The inaugural flight landed in Bangkok on November 29.
Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO of flydubai, dubbed the Dubai-Bangkok service “a significant milestone” and represented “the increasing maturity of flydubai’s network”.
Sudhir Sreedharan, senior vice president, commercial (GCC, Subcontinent and Africa) for flydubai, added that the new route “will not only offer passengers from Dubai alternative travel options through Thailand, but additionally connect Thailand to Russia and Europe via Dubai, strengthening the UAE’s position as an international travel hub”.
Launched in 2009, flydubai boasts a network of more than 90 destinations and is expecting to add eight new aircraft to its fleet by 2H2017.
