Flydubai adds seventh Russian route

Flydubai has begun its non-stop service between Krasnodar in southern Russia and Dubai

The carrier has been focusing growth on the CIS after first introducing an air service to Russia in October 2010.

The first destinations included Samara and Yekaterinburg, Kazan and Ufa were added in 2011. Last spring, flydubai doubled Russia-bound routes. Earlier this year, the flights to Mineralnye Vody and Volgograd have been added to the carrier’s route network with Rostov-on-Don expected to join by November.

Krasnodar has become the seventh Russian city in the flydubai’s destination map.
