Budget carrier to operate three flights weekly to resort town Sharm El Sheikh
UAE’s low-cost carrier Flydubai is expanding its services on the Egyptian route as demand for travel continues to rise.
Starting from June 15, the airline will operate three flights weekly to Sharm El Sheikh International Airport, making it the second UAE airline, after Air Arabia, to cash in on the popular Egyptian destination this month.
The popular Egyptian resort town will become Flydubai’s second destination in Egypt alongside Alexandria Borg El Arab International Airport.
Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO of Flydubai, said they expect to see strong demand for travel to Sharm El Sheikh from travellers in the UAE and around the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.
“As more countries gradually lift restrictions on international travel, we are excited to grow our network and give passengers more options to travel this summer. Sharm El Sheikh has been a popular holiday destination for many years, and we expect to see strong demand for travel,” Al Ghaith said.
Sudhir Sreedharan, Flydubai’s senior vice president of commercial operations in the UAE, GCC, Africa and the Indian Subcontinent, said people are starting to make plans to travel again.
“We can see from the enquiries that we are receiving that our customers are keen to travel again … Sharm El Sheikh is another exciting destination for our passengers to visit for their summer holidays,” he said.
