Flights to Kerman International Airport (KER) will operate on Monday and Thursday.The service to Kerman departs Dubai at 12:55pm, arriving at KIH at 1:55pm, with the return service leaving Kerman at 2:55pm and arriving back in the Emirates at 5pm.

The new destinations further bolster the airline’s reach, which expanded with daily services to Islamabad and Lahore in Pakistan launching on 1 July.
