flydubai, the Dubai-based airline, has announced today the launch of two new summer routes. The carrier will operate three weekly flights to Mykonos International Airport (JMK) and Santorini (Thira) Airport (JTR) between June 18 and September 29.

Dubai International (DXB) ended the first quarter (Q1) of the year on a relatively positive note, registering a gradual but steady recovery in both customer numbers and cargo volumes. By the end of Q1 of this year, DXB served 63 percent of the destinations in 89 percent of the countries on 74 percent of the airlines compared to before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, recently announced a landmark partnership with World Champion Esports team, Team Nigma, the organisation founded by The International 7 champions.

Later this year, a new destination will join LOT’s gradually recovered flight network. From September 19, Boeings 737-800 NG and Boeings 787 Dreamliner will operate non-stop flights from Warsaw to the main airport in Dubai (DXB) three times a week.

Etihad Airways, the national carrier of the UAE, has operated its first ecoFlight for this year, continuing research and testing under the Etihad Greenliner programme to assess environmental sustainability initiatives during scheduled services.

The first five of flydubai’s 14 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft have completed their operational readiness flights and have been approved by the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) to return to service. They join other MAX aircraft that returned to service in the fleets of operators in Europe, the UK, North and South America.
