Starting this December, Flydubai is set to broaden its European reach by launching direct flights to three new destinations: Riga in Latvia, Salzburg in Austria, and Vilnius in Lithuania. Service to Riga begins on December 11, while the routes to Salzburg and Vilnius will follow on December 12. Passengers can expect three weekly flights departing from Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport (DXB), providing travelers in the UAE with more convenient options for winter city breaks and Alpine retreats. These new additions come as part of the airline’s broader strategy to enhance its global network, following recent expansions into cities like Bangkok and Benghazi.

Travelers booking these new routes will benefit from Flydubai’s codeshare partnership with Emirates, which allows for seamless connectivity across a vast joint network, including through-checked baggage and single-ticket booking convenience. Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO of Flydubai, noted that these flights are specifically designed to offer easier access to iconic cultural capitals and winter tourism hotspots. Competitive pricing is already available for these services, with Economy Lite fares starting from AED 2,442 for Riga, AED 2,699 for Salzburg, and AED 3,112 for Vilnius, making it an ideal time for winter travel planning.
