Flydubai shakes up EX-YU operations
Flydubai has published its schedule for the 2019/2020 winter season, which begins on October 27, with the carrier to modify its operations across most markets in the former Yugoslavia. The airline will reduce flights to both Zagreb and Sarajevo, increase frequencies to Belgrade and maintain the same number of services to Skopje as last winter. Its summer flights to Dubrovnik this year will also be affected.
The hybrid carrier will resume operations between Dubai and Zagreb on October 27, replacing its partner Emirates on the service. In a statement to EX-YU Aviation News, the airline confirmed it will maintain the route on a daily basis for just over a week, until November 10, after which services will operate four times per week until the end of March 2020, each Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Last winter, Flydubai ran daily services between the two cities throughout the season. Earlier this month, Emirates confirmed it would continue to maintain its route-sharing arrangement with Flydubai to Zagreb. "The strategic partnership between both airlines ensures capacity is deployed to best serve customer demand", Emirates said in a statement. Both airlines mutually codeshare on each others' service to the Croatian capital.
Flights to Sarajevo, which are operated up to three times per day during the peak of the summer season, will run three times per week in winter. As a result, the carrier will reduce its services to the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina by one weekly flight. Operations between the two will be maintained each Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. On the other hand, Flydubai will increase its services to Belgrade this coming winter from five weekly to daily. Previously the carrier said its codeshare agreement with Emirates has increased demand on the route. Its Skopje operations will remain unchanged at two times per week.
Flydubai has also modified operations on its seasonal summer flights to Dubrovnik. Two weekly services will be resumed in June and last until October. Last year, operations were maintained up to four times per week from April. On the other hand, the airline will continue to run its summer service to Tivat twice per week from mid-June, as was the case last year.
