DUBAI 17 June 2021: Flydubai, the Dubai-based airline, has partnered with Alhosn, becoming the first airline to collaborate with the official UAE app for contact tracing and health testing related to Covid-19, to provide passengers with digital verification of Covid-19 medical records while travelling from the UAE.
All passengers can now use the Alhosn app at check-in without having to present a printed copy of their negative Covid-19 PCR test result when travelling from Dubai.
This service is now available for Flydubai passengers departing from Terminal 2, Dubai International (DXB). Plans to integrate the service for Flydubai flights departing from Dubai International (DXB), Terminal 3 are currently under development for future phases of the programme.
Hamad Obaidalla, Chief Commercial Officer at Flydubai, commented, “We would like to thank Alhosn for their partnership and support in implementing this digital verification facility and we are pleased to become the first airline to offer this service to the benefit of our passengers. As travel demand continues to increase, Flydubai is committed to providing our passengers with more ways to make their journey easier and more convenient. The Alhosn app helps us achieve this goal in a seamless, secure and effective manner.”
Launches daily flights to Warsaw
Flydubai also announced the start of daily flights to Warsaw (WAW) from 30th September, 2021. Warsaw will become Flydubai’s second destination in Poland after Krakow (KRK), which currently operates with a twice weekly service.
Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO at Flydubai, said, “We have been flying to Krakow in Poland since 2018 and by adding Warsaw to our network we are providing our passengers with more options for travel to and from Poland. We look forward to creating travel and trade flows with our daily service.”
Jeyhun Efendi, Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations and E-commerce, Flydubai, said, “We are pleased to see our network in Europe grow further with the start of operations to Warsaw. With daily flights to Warsaw, and more countries lifting restrictions on international travel, passengers will have the opportunity to explore more destinations on the Flydubai network.”
With international travel restrictions gradually easing, Flydubai has grown its network to over 90 destinations including several seasonal summer routes, such as Batumi in Georgia, Bodrum and Trabzon in Turkey, Mykonos and Santorini in Greece, Naples in Italy, Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt and Tivat in Montenegro.
Flydubai’s network offers passengers the chance to explore a range of cities rich in culture, heritage and activities such as Baku, Bucharest, Budapest, Istanbul, Ljubljana, Tbilisi, Tirana and Yerevan. Flydubai also offers flights to some of the best beaches and tropical hotspots in the world including the Maldives and Zanzibar.
Emirates will codeshare on flights to Warsaw, offering travellers more seamless connections through Dubai’s international aviation hub to 168 destinations between both the Emirates and Flydubai networks, including Australia, China, Indian Ocean, Japan, South Asia, and the US.
