“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.”
Adding to this was the airline’s Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations (UAE, GCC, Africa and the Indian Subcontinent), Sudhir Sreedharan:
“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.”

Overall…
In conclusion, this represents a significant expansion program into flydubai from Dubai to Pakistan.
The new Islamabad and Lahore flights will no doubt prove popular from it’s base.
With all flights operating daily, it does show the level of demand that is present to these two cities.
Looking ahead, all eyes will be on how the new flights perform when they launch next week.
If they prove popular, then there could be scope to extend frequencies beyond daily.
