Flydubai resumes flights to Taif in Saudi Arabia
Emirates:
Flydubai, the Dubai-based airline, has announced that
flights to Taif in Saudi Arabia will commence on April 15 with a daily service.
This brings the number of destinations served by the carrier in the Kingdom to
seven.
“We are pleased to see our network grow to offer more than 95 unique
destinations. The network expansion has been supported by our growing fleet as
we continue to take delivery of more aircraft over the next few months. We look
forward to welcoming passengers back on our flights to Taif and thank the
authorities for their continuous support,” Ghaith Al Ghaith, chief executive
officer at flydubai, said.
Taif is located less than 100 kilometres east of Mecca in a valley on the
eastern side of the Hejaz mountains. The millennia old city is a favourite
summer destination for those looking for the pleasant weather offered by the
altitude. Due its cooler climate and fertile land, the region earned its title
of “Garden of the Hejaz”. Known as the City of Roses, more than 900 rose farms
produce over 300 million flowers every spring.
Extensive network: Flydubai has built a network of more than 95 destination in
50 countries served by a young fleet of 63 Boeing 737 aircraft. With the
resumption of daily flights to Taif, flydubai’s network in Saudi Arabia has now
grown to seven destinations including AlUla, Dammam, Jeddah, Madinah, Riyadh and
Yanbu.

environment that minimises crew and passenger contact and offers passengers
confidence to travel at every step of their journey.
Passengers are required to make sure that they are up to date with the
regulations from the Iata Travel Centre and the Iata destination tracker for
their whole journey, and follow the guidance issued by the authorities and the
airline.
