Flydubai adds Izmir to its network

Dubai carrier flydubai announced the launch of a new service to Izmir in Turkey, starting June 26.

The service to Izmir will be thrice-weekly. Flights to Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) will operate from Terminal 2 at Dubai International (DXB) on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

With the start of flights to Izmir, flydubai’s network in Turkey will grow to four points, including Ankara (ESB), Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) and Istanbul Airport (IST).

The carrier will also operate summer seasonal routes to Bodrum (BJV) and Trabzon (TZX) from June 23 to offer passengers more options to travel this summer, official news agency WAM reported.

Ghaith Al Ghaith, chief executive officer at flydubai, said, “We are pleased to see our network in Turkey further grow with the start of flights to Izmir. During the busy summer period, we will operate 24 flights a week to Turkey, providing passengers with more opportunities to experience different cities in the country whether they are travelling for a city break or beach holiday. The new direct flights will help stimulate trade links between Dubai and one of the busiest cities in Turkey.”

“We are committed to making travel more accessible and providing more choice for our passengers,” added Jeyhun Efendi, senior vice president, Commercial Operations and e-commerce at flydubai. “We are confident that Izmir will be a popular choice for passengers from the UAE and GCC.”

Earlier this month, flydubai announced that it was resuming flights to Ha’il and Tabuk in Saudi Arabia.

Additionally, flydubai’s services to Gassim will also resume on May 1 with a daily flight.
