Flydubai to initiate two new seasonal routes to Turkey

Carrier flydubai has added two seasonal summer routes to Bodrum and Trabzon in Turkey for passengers flying out of Dubai.

The carrier will operate to Milas-Bodrum Airport (BJV) and Trabzon Airport (TZX), besides its existing route to Sabiha Gokcen International Airport in Turkey.

Flights to Bodrum will operate twice a week from June 4 until September 1. Meanwhile, Trabzon, a city on the Black Sea coast of northeastern Turkey, will be served with three weekly flights from May 13 until September 1.

The carrier’s destinations this summer will total 78, including seven points in Russia as well as flights to destinations including Baku, Bucharest, Colombo, Maldives, Minsk, Tbilisi, Tel Aviv, Tirana and Zanzibar.

Emirates will codeshare on flights to Bodrum and Trabzon, offering travellers connections through Dubai to 155 destinations between both the Emirates and flydubai networks including Australia, China, Indian Ocean, Japan, South Asia and the US.

Flights can be booked from the carrier’s website or app, its contact centre and through the airline’s travel shops and travel partners.

Jeyhun Efendi, senior vice president, commercial operations and e-commerce at flydubai, added: “Adding Bodrum and Trabzon to our seasonal schedule will provide passengers with more options to travel this summer. We have steadily grown our network to more than 75 destinations and we will continue to launch flights to more destinations in the region as restrictions ease.”

Flydubai will also become the first UAE-based carrier to offer direct flights between DXB and Salzburg Airport (SZG), beginning May 13, 2021.
