flydubai's seasonal summer network grows to 11 destinations
flydubai, the Dubai-based carrier, is set to start its seasonal operations to 11 cities this summer, providing passengers with a range of holiday destinations to explore from 04 June. This includes the start 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. With the start of these flights, customers travelling from Dubai, and around the network, can enjoy convenient travel options to visit the beautiful Turkish Riviera and Egypt's popular Al Sahel North Coast.
Customers looking for exciting destinations to explore this summer can also enjoy flydubai's convenient flights to popular destinations such as Batumi, Bodrum, Corfu, Dubrovnik, Mykonos, Olbia, Santorini, Tivat and Trabzon.
To cater to the busy Eid Al Adha travel period, flydubai's summer schedule will commence earlier this year at the beginning of June. The expanding network will be served by flydubai's young and efficient fleet including its latest retrofitted aircraft as well as the latest Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft that entered service in April this year.
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.
flydubai continues to record growth in demand for its Business Class offering and has recorded a 20% increase in Business Class passengers in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The airline is expected to see continued growth in Business Class numbers over the summer, underscoring the attractiveness of its offering, coupled with the introduction of its new Business Class check-in area and flydubai Business Class Lounge at Terminal 2, Dubai International (DXB).
With the start of flights to Antalya, flydubai expands its network in Türkiye to six points including Ankara (ESB), Bodrum (BJV), Istanbul Airport (IST), Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) and Trabzon (TZX).
The addition of flights to Al Alamein makes flydubai the first carrier in the UAE to offer direct daily flights from Dubai to the new leisure destination in Egypt's North Coast.

ECB cuts rate again facing growth, tariff woes
The European Central Bank's easing cycle reached the one-year mark Thursday when policymakers delivered another interest rate cut as concerns mount about the struggling eurozone economy and global trade tensions. The ECB cut its key deposit rate a quarter point to two percent, as widely expected, its seventh consecutive reduction and eighth since June last year when it began lowering borrowing costs. It also lowered its inflation forecast for 2025, with consumer price increases now expected to hit the central bank's two-percent target this year. With inflation under control following a post-pandemic surge, the ECB has shifted its focus to dialling back borrowing costs to boosting the beleaguered economies of the 20 countries that use the euro. US President Donald Trump's tariffs have added to an already uncertain outlook for the single-currency area, with Europe firmly in his crosshairs, fuelling fears about a heavy hit to the continent's exporters. Announcing the rate decision, the ECB struck a measured tone about the US levies and the potential for retaliation. It noted that the "uncertainty surrounding trade policies is expected to weigh on business investment and exports" but added that "rising government investment in defence and infrastructure will increasingly support growth over the medium term. "Higher real incomes and a robust labour market will allow households to spend more. Together with more favourable financing conditions, this should make the economy more resilient to global shocks." It left its growth forecast for 2025 unchanged at 0.9 percent. It also said inflation was now around target -- dropping previous language that it was "on track". Eurozone inflation came in at 1.9 percent in May. All eyes will now be on ECB President Christine Lagarde's post-meeting press conference for any hints that the Frankfurt-based institution might be gearing up to pause its cuts in July to take stock of developments, as some expect. The ECB's series of cuts stands in contrast to the US Federal Reserve, which has kept rates on hold recently amid fears that Trump's levies could stoke inflation in the world's top economy. Lagarde may also face questions on her own future after the Financial Times last week reported she had discussed leaving the ECB early to take the helm of the World Economic Forum, which organises the annual Davos gathering. The ECB has insisted that Lagarde is "determined" to finish her term, which ends in 2027. Tariff blitz Trump, who argues his tariffs will bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States, has already hit the EU with multiple waves of levies. The bloc currently faces a 10-percent "baseline" tariff as well as higher duties on specific sectors. He has paused even higher rates on the EU and other trading partners to allow for talks, but he continues to launch fresh salvos that are keeping the world on edge. This week he doubled tariffs on aluminium and steel from 25 to 50 percent and last month threatened the EU with an escalation if it did not negotiate a swift deal. For the ECB, it is a tricky task to protect the eurozone from the mercurial US president's trade policies while keeping inflation stable. Trump's tariffs are expected to exert downward pressure on eurozone inflation. This is due to factors including tariff-hit China redirecting inexpensive manufactured goods to Europe, recent strengthening of the euro and potentially lower energy prices. Lower inflation and slower growth should push the ECB to make further rate cuts. As a result, ING analyst Carsten Brzeski predicted Thursday's cut "will not be the last". "Not only did US President Donald Trump make the European economy great again -- for one quarter, as frontloading of exports and industrial production boosted economic activity -- he also made inflation almost disappear," he said. There are some factors that make this uncertain though.
