Flights to the Greek islands will begin in June with plans to add Naples and Salzburg from July

UAE-based airline, flydubai has announced the launch of two new summer routes to Mykonos International and Santorini Airport from Dubai, which will operate three times a week between June 18 and September 29.

The inauguration of these services means the carrier now has a total of six destinations in its summer schedule – including Bodrum and Trabzon in Turkey, Batumi in Georgia and Tivat in Montenegro.

“We are excited to grow our network and give passengers more options to travel this summer,” said Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO at flydubai. “Demand for travel has started to increase as more countries gradually lift restrictions on international travel. The UAE has recently added Bahrain, Greece and Serbia to the safe travel list which has encouraged more people to start planning their summer holidays. Mykonos and Santorini will be popular choices for travel from the UAE and GCC.”

From May 18, fully vaccinated passengers have been able to travel between the UAE and Greece without having to quarantine.

Flight operations to Batumi and Tivat will restart on June 25, with flights to Bodrum and Trabzon beginning from June 4 and 24, respectively.

Naples and Salzburg are also expected to be added from July.
