Flydubai airline plans daily flights to Juba

November 26, 2013 (JUBA) – Flydubai is set double its flights to the Sudan Sudan capital, Juba, six months after the airline started plying the Juba-Dubai route.

The Dubai-based airline, in a statement issued after this year’s air-show conference held in United Arab Emirates (UAE), said the Juba route was very promising and vowed to embark on daily flights.

“We are glad the Juba route is very busy and it among the first routes we operate in that we introduced the business class to suit the market”, said Ghaith Al Ghaith, Flydubai’s chief executive officer.

“Flydubai will always meet the customers’ expectation in all the routes the carrier operates in”, he stressed, adding that the flights have tremendously improved business between Juba and Dubai.

The airline currently plies the Juba-Dubai route four times a week.

The Dubai-based airline, according to a statement posted on its website, strives to remove travel barriers and enhance connectivity between different cultures across its ever-expanding network.

The company has also opened up 46 new routes that did not previously have direct air links to Dubai or were not served by a UAE national carrier from Dubai.

In addition, however, Flydubai’s agility and flexibility as a young airline has reportedly enhanced Dubai’s economic development, in line with the Government of Dubai’s vision, through creating trade and tourism flows in previously underserved markets.

This year, the airline company announced 16 new routes and increased the frequency of several destinations across its network.

Established in 2008, flydubai is Dubai’s first low-cost airline and the fastest growing start-up airline in the world. Since it started operations in June 2009, the airline has reportedly established a route network of more than 65 destinations across the world.
