flydubai today launched direct flights to two new destinations in Iran. This includes the start of a four-times weekly service to Kish Island from September 7 and a twice-weekly service to Kerman from September 9.

Flights to Kish International Airport (KIH) and Kerman International Airport (KER) will operate from Terminal 2, Dubai International (DXB). Emirates will codeshare on these routes, offering passengers more options to connect through Dubai’s international aviation hub.

Flights to Kish will operate on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Meanwhile, flights to Kerman will operate twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays.

Hamad Obaidalla, chief commercial officer at flydubai, said: “We have continued to look for opportunities to open up underserved markets and so we are pleased to offer our customers more convenient options for travel to Iran. flydubai is dedicated to creating free flows of trade and tourism, and with Kerman and Kish Island as our newest destinations, we look forward to providing our passengers more opportunities to explore our extensive network.”

flydubai operates flights to more than 125 destinations, 90 of which were underserved markets that did not previously have direct air links to Dubai.

Later this year, flydubai is also set to welcome Basel in Switzerland from August 2, Riga in Latvia from October 11 in addition to Tallinn in Estonia and Vilnius in Lithuania from October 12.
