More flights to link Dubai with Turkey

Dubai-based airline, flydubai, will resume passenger flights to Sabiha Gökçen Airport in Istanbul from March 2, operating five flights a week.

With the airline already flying daily to Istanbul Airport it increases their frequency to the city to 12 flights a week.

flyDubai's network to the country also includes services to the capital, Ankara, with two-weekly flights.

Commenting on the relaunch of their operations, Jeyhun Efendi, Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations and E-commerce at flydubai, highlighted how Sabiha Gökçen Airport is vital as it "provides another convenient option for those travelling to Istanbul".

"We look forward to welcoming our passengers as they travel with flydubai onboard our Boeing 737 MAX aircraft," he added. 

Emirates will codeshare on the route offering travellers more options for connections through Dubai’s international aviation hub to more than 190 destinations between both the Emirates and flydubai networks.

Passengers are required to make sure they are up to date with the regulations from the IATA Travel Centre and the IATA destination tracker for their whole journey, and follow guidance issued by the authorities and the airline.
