June 25 – Dubai’s budget carrier, flydubai has launched its fourth destination this week when its inaugural flight to Sri Lanka landed at the Colombo airport.
Flydubai’s CEO Ghaith Al Ghaith expressed his delight at the airlines expansion into the subcontinent and was certain of the growth potential flydubai will have in this market: “We’re delighted to be able to expand our range of destinations in the South Asian sub-continent with the start of our flights to Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is a popular tourist destination and by making travel to the capital a little less complex, a little less stressful and a little less expensive, I am confident this new route will be a popular one. Especially since a one way fare with flydubai costs from just AED450, including all taxes, charges and one piece of hand luggage.”
