Flydubai has just expanded its network in Southeast Asia, adding some exciting new destinations for travellers to explore.

Are you looking to explore a new, hidden gem in Southeast Asia? Then Penang and Langkawi need to be on your list. Malaysia is a country popular for its nightlife, and amazing food culture.

Now, with flydubai expanding its network, travellers have the benefit of exploring Penang and Langkawi on a budget.

The Dubai-based carrier integrated its operations in Langkawi and Penang on the 10th of February 2024. In addition to celebrating the first flight to the destinations on flydubai, these inaugural flights were also on the first day of the Chinese New Year.

We are pleased to see our presence grow in Southeast Asia with the addition of Penang and Langkawi to our growing network. flydubai remains committed to opening up underserved markets and with the start of our daily service, we look forward to offering our passangers more opportunities to explore the beautiful regions, says Sudhir Sreedharan – Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations (UAE, GCC, Africa and the Indian Subcontinent) at flydubai.

flydubai is the first carrier to serve the airports in Langkawi and Penang with a daily service from Dubai. The airline will touch down in Penang at the Penang International Airport (PEN). For those looking to fly to Langkawi, the airline touches down at Langwaki International Airport (LGK).

In addition to these two beautiful destinations, travellers can also explore Krabi and Pattaya in Thailand through flydubai. flydubai is set to operate its latest crafts to these routes. On top of budget-friendly tickets, the airline also features lie-flat seats, intentionally inspired menus and immersive entertainment in Business Class.

FIFA Names Saudi Arabia as Host of 2034 World Cup

2034 World Cup Saudi Arabia

FIFA has officially named Saudi Arabia as the host for the 2034 World Cup, marking a major milestone in the country’s Vision 2030 plan. The announcement took place during the Extraordinary FIFA Congress on 13 December 2024. With this decision, Saudi Arabia becomes the second Middle Eastern nation to host the prestigious tournament, following Qatar in 2022.

A Historic First for the 2034 World Cup

For the first time ever, the 2034 World Cup will feature 48 teams, expanding from the previous 32-team format. Matches will be spread across five cities: Riyadh, Jeddah, Al Khobar, Abha, and the futuristic city of Neom. With 15 state-of-the-art stadiums, the event will offer a compact and immersive experience for fans. The country’s well-developed transport network will make travel between cities simple and quick.

This selection fits perfectly with Saudi Arabia’s larger goals to become a global sports leader. As part of Vision 2030, the country aims to diversify its economy and raise its profile worldwide, with football playing a key role. Hosting the World Cup will provide a chance for Saudi Arabia to highlight its rich culture, beautiful landscapes, and modern infrastructure to the world.

Along with the 2034 Word Cup announcement, FIFA also confirmed Morocco, Spain, and Portugal as co-hosts for the 2030 World Cup. Moreover, special centenary matches will be taking place in Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay. This dual announcement shows FIFA’s commitment to bringing countries together through football and expanding the tournament’s reach across continents.

With a decade to go until the event begins, Saudi Arabia is preparing to deliver a World Cup that promises not only top-tier football but also a lasting impact on the region and the world.
