Dubai-based flydubai is set to launch its seasonal operations to 11 cities this summer, including the introduction of flights to two new summer destinations, Al Alamein and Antalya.
Flights will operate daily from Terminal 2, Dubai International (DXB) to Antalya International Airport (AYT) from 05 June and Al Alamein International Airport (DBB) from 21 June.

The airline has recorded a 20% increase in Business Class passengers in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
The addition of flights to Antalya expands flydubai's network in Türkiye to six points, including Ankara (ESB), Bodrum (BJV), Istanbul Airport (IST), Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) and Trabzon (TZX).
Hamad Obaidalla, Chief Commercial Officer at flydubai, said: 'we have seen growth in demand for travel to popular seasonal summer destinations year-on-year. The introduction of more destinations to our summer operations reflects our ongoing commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our customers by providing greater convenience, enhanced accessibility and more options for travel. We are confident that Al Alamein and Antalya will be popular choices for holiday seekers from Dubai and across the flydubai network. The 11 seasonal summer routes operating from June to September complement our existing popular established routes such as Georgia, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Thailand."

Driven Properties buys final Bulgari Lighthouse units for $77m
Driven Properties, a member of the Forbes Global Properties network, has announced that it has completed the sale of the last two penthouses at the Bulgari Lighthouse on Jumeirah Bay Island in Dubai for a combined amount of more than AED282 million ($77 million). The first five-bedroom residence, spanning 11,657 sq ft, reached a whopping AED146.6 million, while the second, achieved AED136.25 million, said the company in a statement. Designed by Italian architects Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel, Bulgari Lighthouse blends contemporary engineering with Mediterranean calm. A coral-inspired façade shields each home while framing uninterrupted views of the Arabian Gulf and Downtown's skyline, it stated. The transactions were brokered by Driven | Forbes Global Properties' Lina Allaoa and Kianoush Darban, founders of The Private Collection, the brokerage's specialist team for ultra-high-end property. The duo is well known for setting several records in the area, from the highest price per sq ft, to the most expensive villa in Jumeirah Bay Island. Terraces flow into private infinity pools, and double-height salons are finished in Italian marble, warm oak and hand-laid silk panelling, said the company. A combination of location, craftsmanship and privacy that has made Lighthouse one of the most wanted addresses in Dubai's ultra-prime market, it added. "Dubai offers our international clients two things they value most: a secure place to allocate their capital and an unbeatable way of life. Bulgari Lighthouse unites those advantages in a single address, blending sound investment with everyday opulence," remarked Allaoa. On the strategic deal, Darban said: "Scarcity drives value. With fewer than 40 residences in the tower, and amenities that rival a private resort, Lighthouse is arguably the most coveted address in Dubai."

RTA launches traffic enhancement works in 40 locations
Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has commenced a series of traffic improvements across 40 key locations in the emirate, scheduled for implementation between June and September 2025. The works will cover 22 major streets, nine school zones, more than five development areas, and several internal roads in Tolerance District, Al Khawaneej 2, and Nad Al Sheba. These improvements will be carried out during the summer holiday to minimise disruption to daily traffic flow while ensuring the highest safety standards at all targeted sites. These efforts form part of a broader strategy to improve traffic flow, road safety, journey times, and connectivity between residential, educational, and development areas across the city, RTA said. The next phase will include traffic enhancements at key locations, such as Jumeirah Village Circle towards Hessa Street, Ras Al Khor Road, Al Thanya Street, and King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Street. Additional improvements will be made to Al Meydan Street, Al Sa'ada Street, Al Asayel Street, and the junction of Al Wasl Street with Al Manara Street. As part of its commitment to improving traffic efficiency and road safety around educational institutions, RTA is undertaking roadworks at nine strategic school zone locations. This includes upgrades at the Al Warqa 1 school complex, the construction of an additional bus entrance at GEMS School in Al Warqa 3, the widening of access and exit points around The English College in Al Safa 1 on Sheikh Zayed Road, and the installation of a signal-controlled pedestrian crossing on Al Seedaf Street in Al Barsha 1. These measures aim to ease congestion during peak morning and afternoon hours. In response to the emirate's population growth and booming economy, RTA is also implementing traffic solutions at five major development zones. This includes the construction of a direct access route to Al Muhaisnah labour camps from Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, upgrades to Al Mustaqbal Street (Brookfield) for improved access to newly developed residential communities, better connectivity between Al Khail Road and Al Asayel Street via Al Marabea' Street, and enhancements at Nad Al Hamar junction near Lootah Mosque.
