Three seasonal services took off on Wednesday, connecting the UAE capital to Nice on the famous French Côte d’Azur, the historic city of Heraklion on the Greek island of Crete, and Malaga in Spain.
All three routes are set to be operated on a twice-per-week basis.

Designed with sustainability and health and wellness in mind, the kits include a mini tote bag upcycled from flight blankets, a limited-edition reusable infuser water bottle and naturally carbonated FRÍO® sparkling water from the UAE.
