It should be noted that for a small surcharge (US $ 28), passengers will be able to choose seats with extra legroom. And this despite the fact that all seats on Flydubai aircraft have 5 cm more legroom than is traditionally accepted in economy class cabins. This was achieved due to the innovative design of the pockets in the backs of the seats, which are usually located in the area of the knees of passengers.
FlyDubai’s president, Gate al-Gate, said: “We are pleased to announce the start of flights to Ukrainian cities. FlyDubai is committed to serving those destinations that currently lack direct flights to the UAE. Therefore, we have chosen three major Ukrainian flights We are confident that the direct flights of our airline will strengthen relations between Ukraine and the UAE, and our citizens will be able to open new opportunities for trade, tourism and business development.
We are also proud of the permission to fly from the prestigious Terminal F in Kiev. I would like to thank the Ukrainian authorities for the support that allowed us to organize the implementation of new flights. I am sure that the opening of new flight directions will benefit both countries, contributing to the growth of trade, tourism and business. We see the enormous potential of these routes. Our passengers will be able to enjoy high-quality service on board, clean and new airplanes, and will also be pleasantly surprised by the low ticket prices that FlyDubai is famous for. We plan to cooperate with the leading tour operator Natalie Tours, so that Ukrainian tourists will be able to purchase excellent vacation packages in the UAE, as well as tickets for direct flights to Dubai and other cities where Flydubai operates. "
Recall that the airline FlyDubai was founded by the government of Dubai in March 2008. The airline completed its first flight on June 1, 2009. In less than a year of operation, the company's fleet has grown to 16 new Boeing 737-800 NG aircraft, and 36 cities appearing on the route map are located within a 5-hour flight from Dubai. In July 2008, Flydubai placed the largest order in the history of Gulf airlines for 50 Boeing 737 800NG aircraft with a total value of US $ 4 billion. Currently, the company has already received 16 aircraft, and another 5 will arrive before the end of 2011.
