Commenting on the launch of operations, Ghaith Al Ghaith, Chief Executive Officer at flydubai, said: “The launch of our new operations to Libya marks another milestone in our network expansion strategy and reinforces our commitment to opening underserved markets and establishing new air links between countries. We have recently been scaling up our operations with a continued focus on adding new routes and frequencies as travel demand increases, and by the summer, our network is expected to grow to more than 100 destinations. The strength, resilience and agility of the UAE’s aviation ecosystem have enabled us to continue to realise opportunities and capitalise on Dubai’s hub to explore new and emerging markets such as Libya.”
With the addition of Benghazi, flydubai’s network in East and North Africa expands to 13 destinations, underscoring the carrier’s commitment to opening underserved markets and supporting trade, tourism and cultural exchange through direct air links to Dubai. flydubai recently started operations in Nairobi, its second point in Kenya after Mombasa, and launched seasonal operations to Al Alamein in Egypt, which operates from June during the busy summer period.
