flydubai will expand its European network with new direct flights to Riga in Latvia, Salzburg in Austria and Vilnius in Lithuania this December. The new routes will improve access to these cultural and leisure destinations during the winter holiday season.
Flights to Riga International Airport will begin on 11 December, followed by services to Salzburg and Vilnius on 12 December. Each destination will receive three weekly flights from Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport.
The new routes form part of flydubai's expanded winter schedule. They will give UAE travellers more options for European city breaks and Alpine holidays.
Ghaith Al Ghaith, Chief Executive Officer of flydubai, said: “Our direct services to Riga, Salzburg, and Vilnius further enhance the breadth and diversity of our European network and reflect our long-term commitment to serving key markets across the region.”
Jeyhun Efendi, Divisional Senior Vice President of Commercial Operations and E-commerce, added: “Winter travel continues to be a key driver of demand, and we are pleased to connect Dubai and further beyond with these cultural capitals.”
The new services will also offer onward connections through Dubai to destinations such as Bangkok, Colombo and the Maldives. Passengers will travel aboard flydubai's Boeing 737 fleet, which features lie-flat seats in Business Class and ergonomically designed seats in Economy Class.
The expansion follows recent flydubai route launches to Aleppo, Bangkok, Benghazi and Pokhara. The airline also plans to resume flights to Skopje in April 2027.
