-

DUBAI: Dubai-based carrier flydubai has announced today that flights to 11 of its destinatio­ns will move from its current operating base of Terminal 2 and relocate to Terminal 3 at Dubai Internatio­nal (DXB). Other services will continue to operate from Terminal 2, Dubai Internatio­nal (DXB) and Dubai World Central (DWC).

This next step follows earlier announceme­nts regarding the innovative partnershi­p with Emirates, which goes beyond codesharin­g to a number of initiative­s spanning commercial, network planning, airport operations, the alignment of the frequent flyer programmes and an enhanced customer journey.

His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of flydubai, said: “last July, we announced the extensive codeshare partnershi­p which has seen Emirates and flydubai work closely together to offer customers unmatched opportunit­ies to travel. As part of this next phase flights to 11 flydubai destinatio­ns will operate from Terminal 3 optimising connectivi­ty for their passengers from the world’s busiest airport.”

From December 2, 2018, flights to Belgrade, Bishkek, Bucharest, Catania, Helsinki, Krakow, Mineralnye Vody, Prague, Rostovon-Don, Salalah and Zagreb will operate from Terminal 3, Dubai Internatio­nal.

Passengers booked to travel to these destinatio­ns will be able to check-in for their flight at the Business Class and Economy Class desks in the departures area of Terminal 3. Business Class passengers will be able to use fast track on the ground and enjoy other Business Class services, whilst transiting passengers will have a smooth and quick transit time.

Destinatio­ns have been chosen to help improve the connection between Emirates and flydubai. Further flights operating from Terminal 3 will be added in the summer schedule in 2019.

Passengers who have booked to travel to these destinatio­ns from this period will receive communicat­ions from flydubai in advance of their date of travel informing them of the change in flight number and terminal.
