UAE carrier Flydubai plans to commence double daily flights to the Thai capital Bangkok later this year.
Service will begin on November 29, offering Asian travellers another alternative to the big three Gulf carriers for travel to the Middle East and onward to Europe, says Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO at flydubai.
"Bangkok is an extremely popular destination and the launch of double daily flights reflects the increasing maturity of the flydubai network and operation. This route launch is an important milestone for flydubai, offering business and leisure travellers from both Dubai and Bangkok increased choice and flexibility across our network."
Flydubai will compete on the route with sister airline Emirates which serves Bangkok several times a day including three daily Airbus A380 flights.
Sudhir Sreedharan, flydubai senior vice president, commercial said: "Since its launch, Flydubai has developed a network of more than 85 destinations. With the launch of our double daily Bangkok route, we will be further expanding travel opportunities for passengers looking to use Dubai as a hub for connecting routes from the GCC to Russia and Europe.’
