New daily services commence 1 July 2024

Dubai-based low-cost carrier Flydubai has added Islamabad and Lahore to its network in Pakistan.

The daily services, which will take to the skies from 1 July 2024, will help serve the thousands of Pakistani expats residing in the UAE, and also boost Pakistan's positioning as an emerging tourism destination.

While Lahore is considered a cultural hub, famous for its lively atmosphere and food scene, Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, is known for its modernity, natural beauty, parks and museums. Pakistan Monument on the western Shakarparian Hills in Islamabad is one of its many attractions, also serving as a heritage museum.

Flights from Dubai to Islamabad will depart at 9:05am daily, arriving at 1:20pm. Return flights will leave Islamabad at 2:20pm and arrive in Dubai at 4:50pm.

Flydubai’s daily service from Dubai to Lahore will depart at 12:30am and arrive at 4:45am. Return flights will depart at 5:45am, arriving back in Dubai at 8:15am.

Flydubai started flying to Pakistan 14 years ago with the launch of flights to Karachi. Today, in addition to Islamabad and Lahore, the carrier also flies to Faisalabad, Karachi, Multan, Quetta and Sialkot.
