Low-cost carrier flydubai has launched flights to its 44th destination, Ahmedabad.*Services to India’s seventh largest city will operate weekly on Saturdays from August 27, 2011 with one-way fares from Dubai starting from AED 550.”Ahmedabad is the former capital and largest city in Gujarat and I am delighted to be able to announce today that it will become the third Indian city on flydubai’s rapidly expanding network,” said flydubai CEO Ghaith Al Ghaith. “The growing Indian expatriate population in the UAE and the increasing reliance our two nations have on each other for our economic growth and development makes the introduction of quality, affordable direct flights between the UAE and India’s numerous secondary airports very important. The site of Mahatma Gandhi’s Sabarmati Ashram and the base of India’s independence movement, the 600-year old city has always been of national and international significance. In recent years, Ahmedabad has also become prominent as a seat of academia, attracting scholars and experts from around the globe to institutions like the Indian Institute of Management (Ahmedabad), National Institute of Design and the Indian Space Research Organisation. With the UAE’s increasing focus on knowledge based industries, the new routes will support joint-ventures in areas like space, design, agriculture, pharmaceuticals and bio-technology.
