Tickets for this route are already available for purchase through their website, travel agencies, and the carrier’s call centers.

Flydubai will operate this route from Terminal 2 at Dubai International Airport (DXB), meaning all flights will depart and arrive at T2.

We have also made connecting via Dubai’s aviation hub easier to explore some of the most attractive holiday destinations, including the Maldives, Mombasa, Oman, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Zanzibar.”
