flydubai’s inaugural flight has arrived in the capital city of Eritrea, Asmara.

Ghaith Al Ghaith, flydubai chief executive Officer said: “The addition of Asmara to our network reflects our commitment to enhancing air connectivity to Dubai which includes 67 points that did not previously have direct air links to Dubai or were underserved.

“The Eritrean capital becomes our 13th destination in East Africa.”

Asmara is the 18th destination flydubai launched this year and the airline has recently launched operations to Burundi, Rwanda, Somaliland, Tanzania and Uganda.
