Since our launch in Kazakhstan a year ago we now serve three routes in the country, demonstrating our commitment to further enhancing connections to new destinations from Dubai.

Now passengers from Astana will be able to visit multiple destinations in Africa, the Middle East and the Subcontinent throughout the flydubai network.”
