Dubai-based carrier flydubai continues to grow its network with the launch of flights to four new destinations on Wednesday.
From September this year, flydubai will start flights to Chișinău, the capital of Moldova, and Iași, the third largest city in Romania. From December 2025, the airline will also start flying to Riga, Latvia’s capital, and Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania
The new destinations will expand flydubai’s network to 35 destinations across 20 countries in Europe alone. Flydubai will also become the first UAE carrier to offer direct flights between Dubai and Iași International Airport (IAS) in Romania.
“The expansion of our network reflects our unwavering commitment to opening up underserved markets and stimulating free flows of trade and tourism, and we are pleased to see this happen with the launch of our latest destinations in Europe,” noted flydubai CEO Ghaith Al Ghaith.
Flydubai’s first entry into the Baltic region – with direct services to Riga International Airport (RIX) in Latvia and Vilnius International Airport (VNO) in Lithuania – increases its network to more than 100 destinations.
“Today (May 28), we have built a diverse network of more than 135 destinations, 75 per cent of which are underserved routes from Dubai. With our new services to Eastern Europe and the Baltic region, we look forward to strengthening the UAE’s trade and cultural links and supporting Dubai’s position as an international aviation hub,” Al Ghaith underlined.
Two weekly flights to Chișinău and Iași will operate from Terminal 2, Dubai International (DXB); while three weekly flights to Vilnius and Riga will depart from Terminal 3.
Meanwhile, Emirates will codeshare on all four routes to offer passengers more options for connections through Dubai’s international aviation hub.
Flights are available to book on flydubai website and app, through its contact centre at (+971) 600 54 44 45, or through travel partners.
