flydubai has launched the bulk of its summer 2026 seasonal network, known as flydubai Summer 2026, with seven seasonal destinations already operating and four additional routes set to open in June. The network spans seven countries — Turkey, Greece, Croatia, Montenegro, Italy, Georgia, and Egypt — offering travelers from Dubai and across the carrier’s network broader access to beach and coastal destinations during the peak summer season. These destinations include scenic beaches, historic sites, and water activities, making the routes well-suited for families and couples seeking a distinctive travel experience.
flydubai Summer 2026 presents an opportunity to explore new destinations and experience diverse cultures, with visitors able to engage in a wide range of activities including visits to historic landmarks, guided tours, and sampling traditional cuisine at each destination. Many of these destinations also host dedicated summer seasonal events, adding further depth to the travel experience.
The first flights departed in mid-May: five destinations — Corfu, Tivat, Olbia, Antalya, and Bodrum — launched on 23 May, followed by Dubrovnik, Santorini, and Mykonos on 24 May. These destinations offer visitors immersive experiences, from soft sandy beaches to rich culture and local cuisine. The network completes its build-out in June, with El Alamein in Egypt commencing on 20 June and Trabzon in Turkey and Batumi in Georgia launching on 26 June, further expanding the options available to travelers.
These routes operate from Terminal 2 at Dubai International Airport, served by the carrier’s modern Boeing 737 fleet, which provides passengers with a high standard of comfort and safety. flydubai advanced its summer schedule this year to launch at the start of June, targeting heightened demand during the Eid Al Adha period and the summer holiday season. The seasonal network complements the carrier’s year-round scheduled services to established destinations including Georgia, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, and Thailand, reflecting the airline’s commitment to offering a diverse range of choices.
These additions reinforce flydubai’s presence in Turkey in particular, which now encompasses multiple points of operation — Antalya, Bodrum, and Trabzon alongside Istanbul and Ankara. El Alamein on Egypt’s North Coast also stands out: flydubai was the first UAE carrier to offer direct flights from Dubai to this emerging leisure destination, underscoring growing demand for coastal markets across the eastern Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and the Adriatic. As awareness of sustainable tourism grows, flydubai contributes to supporting local tourism economies.
The network reflects flydubai’s strategy of targeting leisure travelers seeking short- to medium-haul coastal destinations from Dubai, with a clear concentration on Turkish and Greek coastlines and Adriatic destinations during the peak months of June through September. These options allow travelers to enjoy distinctive experiences — whether relaxing on beaches or pursuing water activities such as diving and swimming.
