flydubai, the Dubai-based carrier, has announced the start of flights between Dubai and Tel Aviv from 26 November 2020. The carrier will operate 14 flights a week offering a double daily service between Dubai International (DXB) and Tel Aviv Ben Gurion (TLV) and flights are now available to be booked on the airline's website (link below this article).

This announcement follows the air transport agreement that was recently signed by both countries as well as the start of passenger and cargo operations by other national carriers. In addition, there have been a number of bilateral visits as travel and tourism opportunities open-up.

Since the launch of the airline in 2009, flydubai has become well known for connecting previously underserved markets as well as offering direct links to Dubai. Its extended codeshare partnership with Emirates offers travellers more seamless connections between the Emirates and flydubai networks to 155 destinations.

Emirates Skywards is a shared loyalty programme for both Emirates and flydubai customers offering members greater convenience and simplicity with one loyalty currency and a single metric for earning and redeeming Miles.

In addition, flydubai offers a range of partner services to passengers including home check-in and belt pick-up services, meet and greet services, holiday packages and car hire all at preferential rates.
