The low-cost airline flydubai will operate the Boeing 737MAX along this route, with fully reclining seats in business class and ample space also in economy class with RECARO seats, designed to optimize space and comfort. It will be the first UAE airline to operate this route from Dubai, at the same time as the airline also resumes flights to Catania, expanding its network to three flights in Italy, including Naples.
There will be three flights weekly to the international aviation hub, offering travellers greater connections and bringing an expected increase in visitors from the area to Tuscany, bringing tourism and economic opportunities. Flights will take off on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
Hamad Obaidalla, Chief Commercial Officer of flydubai, said:
"we look forward to the launch of flights to our third point in Italy this summer. Pisa will be a popular destination for travellers from the UAE and the GCC to discover the beauty of the Tuscany region. We have seen healthy growth in passenger numbers as more countries ease travel restrictions and demand for travel returns to pre-pandemic levels. We look forward to an exceptional summer as we continue to add more destinations to our network and increase the frequency of flights on some of our existing routes”.
Commenting on the launch of flights, Jeyhun Efendi, Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations and E-commerce at flydubai, said:
“flydubai’s new three-times weekly service to Pisa, as well as our operations to Catania and Naples, offers passengers from the UAE and the region more options for travel to Europe this summer. Our passengers from Italy will be able to enjoy convenient and direct flights to Dubai throughout the year. Our flights will be operated by our fleet of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft which feature a flatbed in Business Class and additional comfort in Economy Class”.
