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.
