The inaugural flights touched down at Sphinx International Airport (SPX) and Poznań Airport (POZ) and were met with a water cannon salute and a warm welcome by airport officials, becoming the first carrier from the UAE to operate direct flights to these airports.

 With the start of flights to Cairo and Poznań, flydubai grows its network in Egypt to two destinations, including Alexandria and Cairo, and in Poland to three destinations including Krakow, Poznań and Warsaw.

 Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO, flydubai, said, “We are proud to see our network reach new heights with the addition of Cairo and Poznań. We have launched more than 20 destinations since the start of 2023, growing the flydubai network to more than 120 destinations spanning from Italy to Malaysia. We remain committed to strengthening airlinks from the UAE to underserved markets via Dubai’s aviation hub and playing a vital role in supporting economic growth and free flows of trade and tourism in the region.”

Poznań will be served with a three-times weekly service, bringing the total number of flights operated to Krakow, Poznań and Warsaw from Dubai to 17 weekly flights.
