Emirates and flydubai are strengthening their joint network and customer offering, connecting millions of travellers to more destinations while delivering smoother journeys and greater loyalty rewards.
The partnership now provides access to 245 destinations across 103 countries, giving passengers from both airlines significantly broader travel options. Emirates customers can explore 103 flydubai destinations, while flydubai passengers gain access to 107 Emirates routes, with popular choices including Kathmandu, Baku, Krabi, Belgrade and Zanzibar.
The network continues to grow, with new Emirates destinations such as Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Siem Reap and Da Nang, while flydubai has added Chisinau, Iasi, Vilnius, Riga and Nairobi. In the past year, more than 5 million passengers travelled on codeshare flights, marking a 10 percent rise from the previous year and bringing the total to over 22 million since 2017.
Travellers are also upgrading their experience. Bookings for Emirates premium cabins increased by 20 percent last year, while Premium Economy reservations under the partnership rose by 130 percent. Both airlines continue to streamline the travel experience through optimised schedules, smooth transfers, and enhanced services at Dubai’s terminals.
The joint loyalty programme, Emirates Skywards, remains a major draw with nearly 18 million members earning and redeeming hundreds of billions of Miles. Recent additions include Classic Rewards on flydubai starting from 5,000 Miles and an improved Cash+Miles option offering greater value.
Both carriers continue to invest in product upgrades, from Emirates’ extensive aircraft retrofit programme to flydubai’s modernised fleet and improved ground services. With a combined fleet of 363 aircraft, the two airlines aim to support Dubai’s D33 Economic Agenda and expand the network to 400 destinations in the years ahead.
