Dubai-based carrier flydubai has announced it will launch daily flights to Pakistan’s capital Islamabad and cultural centre Lahore beginning July 1, 2024.

Services to Islamabad International Airport and Allama Iqbal International Airport will operate from Terminal 2 at Dubai International Airport.

“Pakistan has long been an important market for flydubai. Since 2010 when we first started operations to the market, we have seen sustained demand for travel and with the start of our daily services to Islamabad and Lahore, we look forward to offering passengers more opportunities to explore Dubai, the GCC region and beyond on the flydubai network,” Chief Commercial Officer Hamad Obaidalla said.

The airline first began operating to Pakistan in 2010 when it launched flights to Karachi. In addition to the new routes, the airline also flies to Faisalabad, Karachi, Multan, Quetta and Sialkot.

“flydubai’s new daily services to Islamabad and Lahore will offer our customers from the UAE and Pakistan with more convenient and reliable options for travel. As our flights will be operated by our fleet of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, we are confident that passengers will enjoy an enhanced travel experience with our onboard product,” Sudhir Sreedharan, Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations (UAE, GCC, Africa and the Indian Subcontinent) at flydubai added.

Flights will be operated using Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and are available to book from July 1.
