Low-cost UAE carrier flydubai has announced it will launch four new services across Europe,
including its first entry into the Baltic region.

From August 2, the carrier will operate direct flights to EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg in
Basel, with economy fares starting from Dh1,500 ($408).

This is followed by flights to Riga, Latvia, on October 11, as well as Tallinn in Estonia and Vilnius in
Lithuania from October 12. Prices for these flights in economy start from Dh1,920, Dh2,100 and
Dh2,180, respectively.

“We have created a diverse network of 126 destinations, 60 per cent of which previously had very
limited or no connections to Dubai,” said flydubai chief executive Ghaith Al Ghaith.

Emirates will also codeshare on these routes.
