Flydubai, a Dubai-based new low-budget airliner, has launched its thrice-a-week flight between Hyderabad and Dubai.
Flight FZ 435 will operate on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday and the one-way fare from Hyderabad to Dubai is Rs 8,000, the CEO of Flydubai, Mr Ghaith AL Ghaith, told media persons here today.
“India is a key destination for Flydubai, which was set up by the Dubai Government to provide a good quality, low-cost alternative for millions of expats living in UAE,” he said.
Mr Ghaith added that Flydubai is connected to 37 operational destinations across the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Europe, and plans to increase its aircraft fleet from the present 17 to 21 by the year-end.
Flydubai has placed orders for 50 more aircraft, which it expects to get by 2015, at an investment of $4 billion.
Sultan AL Owais, UAE Ambassador to India, said that UAE is a significant partner for India and substantially contributes to the Indian economy.
