Flydubai focuses on cargo operations & repatriation flights
In line with the updated Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued by the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), Dubai-based flydubai’s passenger operation remains suspended until June 4, 2020 as part of the precautionary measures being implemented in response to COVID-19. The carrier continues to focus its efforts on supporting government requests with repatriation flights and enabling the movement of essential goods across its network and beyond.
Since the directive came into effect on March 24, 2020, flydubai has enabled the movement of more than 1,651,929 kgs of perishables, medical supplies, express courier and essential goods.
Hamad Obaidalla, Chief Commercial Officer, flydubai, said, “Air cargo operations will continue to be our focus over the next few weeks. We have been working closely with our strategic partners enabling flydubai to transport cargo seamlessly to where it is needed the most, while adhering to the safety standards set by the industry and the World Health Organisation (WHO).” flydubai Cargo is maximising its cargo capacity by transporting goods in the cargo hold on repatriation flights as well.
