Flydubai announced the addition of three new East African routes, bringing the total number of destinations in the carrier’s network to 80, according to Khaleej Times.
With the launch of flights in September 2014 to Bujumbura in Burundi, Entebbe in Uganda, and Kigali in Rwanda, flydubai will fly to nine destinations in Africa.
Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO of flydubai, said: “We are delighted to announce the launch of three new East African destinations which also sees flydubai become the first national carrier from the UAE to fly to Rwanda and Burundi, underlining our commitment to opening up underserved markets.”
Flydubai’s operation to these emerging markets will provide passengers with a reliable, direct and high-quality service. Business Class, which is made available for the first time between Dubai and Burundi, will give passengers travelling to these new destinations a more comfortable and personalised travel experience.
“We have announced 17 new destinations since the start of 2014, matching the total number of destinations flydubai launched last year. We look forward to continuing to expand our network as we remain committed to supporting Dubai’s trade and tourism sectors,” added Al Ghaith.
