Starting June 24, flydubai will connect Dubai to the Italian city of Pisa, becoming the first UAE carrier to do so.
The budget airliner will also resume its operations to Catania in Sicily, expanding its network in Italy to three destinations, including Naples.
Services to Pisa and Catania will be three times a week.
Emirates will codeshare on these routes and the flights will operate from Terminal 3 at Dubai International (DXB), offering travellers more seamless connections through Dubai’s international aviation hub.
"We look forward to the launch of flights to our third point in Italy this summer. Pisa will be a popular destination for travellers from the UAE and the GCC to discover the beauty of the Tuscany region," said Hamad Obaidalla, Chief Commercial Officer at flydubai.
"We look forward to an exceptional summer as we continue to add more destinations to our network and increase the frequency of flights on some of our existing routes."
Jeyhun Efendi, Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations and E-commerce at flydubai, added that it offers "passengers from the UAE and the region more options for travel to Europe this summer".
