DUBAI: Low-cost carrier flydubai announced on Sunday the launch of direct flights to Finland’s capital, the first flights to the city offered by a UAE-based carrier.
The service from Dubai International to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport will start on October 11.
“Flydubai will be the first UAE national carrier to offer direct flights to the capital of Finland,” said Hamad Obaidalla, chief commercial officer of flydubai, speaking at the Arabian Travel Market exhibition in Dubai.
“We remain committed to opening up previously underserved markets and to providing more travel options to fly to Dubai and beyond.”
The carrier will operate the new route on its new Boeing 737 MAX 8. Emirates will codeshare on the Helsinki route as part of its partnership with flydubai.
