Flydubai participates in Dubai Tourism’s East Africa road show

Dubai-based airline flydubai is participating in Dubai’s Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing’s (Dubai Tourism) first-ever East Africa road show joining 14 Dubai-based partners in showcasing a wide range of services and upcoming attractions.
Flydubai will take part in the road show in Kampala on Aug. 24, where it will then continue to Dar es Salaam on Aug. 30.
The road show is a great platform for local operators to meet directly with the airline and learn first-hand about the services and choices passengers from the market have when choosing to fly directly to Dubai for business or leisure.
Issam Kazim, CEO at Dubai Tourism, said: “The potential of Uganda and Tanzania as a market source is positive, and this road show provides us with the opportunity to directly interact with the operators here and showcase what Dubai has to offer. We look forward to making long-lasting and fruitful trade relationships during the trip.”
Flydubai was launched in 2009 to help create free flows of trade and tourism in the region and further support Dubai’s vision to become an internationally recognized aviation and tourism hub. Flydubai’s reliable, affordable and high quality product offering with both business and economy classes, makes it possible for more people to travel more often to Dubai.
Sudhir Sreedharan, SVP commercial operations at flydubai (GCC, Africa & Indian Sub-Continent), said: “We are very pleased to take part in Dubai Tourism’s first-ever road show to East Africa and to showcase brand Dubai and flydubai. We currently operate 82 weekly flights to 11 points in Africa, including 3 weekly flights to Entebbe and 4 weekly flights to Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar.”
