Dubai-based airline, Flydubai has launched direct flights to the south of Maldives.
In a press release issued on Wednesday, travel agency Inner Maldives Holidays revealed that Flydubai continues to grow its operations to Maldives with the launching of a new daily service to Gan International Airport, in southernmost Addu City.
Flights will be launched from Dubai, UAE from 04 February 2023 onwards.
The carrier began its operations to Maldives back in 2013 with the launching of direct flights to Velana International Airport (VIA) in the capital, Malé City.
The airline will increase its flight frequency to the market to 28 flights a week, with the launching of the new daily service to the south in 2023.
Flydubai is the first carrier from the UAE to operate flights to the airport in the south of Maldives.
Commenting on this, the Managing Director of Inner Maldives Holidays and General Sales Agent for Flydubai in the Maldives, Mohamed Firaq stated that Addu City will be the carrier’s 100th destination.
He added that passengers will have the opportunity to choose how they would like to travel, whether it is in the comfort of business class or a customized experience in economy class, stating that customers will also be able to purchase tickets from Inner Maldives’ office and through the appointed Flydubai passenger sales agents.
Further, Deputy Managing Director of Inner Maldives Holidays, Abdulla Ghiyas noted that they remain hopeful that this opens new doors for Addu and tourism in the region.
Inner Maldives went on to reveal that passengers have the opportunity to experience business class and enjoy the space and privacy it offers, alongside comfort and spacious seats, inflight entertainment with films and TV shows available to watch and a range of delicious snacks and complimentary hot and cold beverages.
Economy class passengers will have the opportunity to enjoy a Recaro designed seat offering optimal levels of space and comfort in the air.
The airline continues to roll-out WiFi across its fleet, which in turn allows passengers to stay connected during their flight.
As such, passengers can choose between bundled (Flex/Value) or unbundled (Lite) fares depending on their travel needs.
Inner Maldives also added that the airline’s passenger experience has been redesigned to enable travel in a safe environment that minimizes crew and passenger contact, alongside offering the customers confidence to travel at every step of their journey.
This comes at a time Flydubai recently introduced an extended multi-risk travel insurance that includes Covid-19 cover to offer passengers greater piece of mind when travelling.
The airline revealed that passengers will be required to make sure that they are up-to-date with the regulations from the IATA Travel Centre for their entire journey alongside following the guidance issued by the authorities and the airline.
