flydubai will begin services to Riga in Latvia, Salzburg in Austria and Vilnius in Lithuania from December, adding three European cultural and leisure destinations to its winter schedule.
Flights to Riga International Airport will start on December 11, followed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Airport in Salzburg and Vilnius International Airport on December 12. Each route will operate three times a week from Terminal 3 at Dubai International under the airline’s codeshare partnership with Emirates, with single-ticket bookings and baggage checked through to the final destination. Riga flights will depart on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, while Salzburg and Vilnius services will run on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Ghaith Al Ghaith, Chief Executive Officer at flydubai, said the routes broaden the diversity of the airline’s European network and reflect its long-term commitment to key markets in the region. Jeyhun Efendi, Divisional Senior Vice President of Commercial Operations and E-commerce, said winter travel remains a key driver of demand.
Each destination has its own draw. Riga offers medieval attractions, Art Nouveau architecture and a Christmas market at Dome Square. Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart, serves as a gateway to the Ski Amadé region, while Vilnius is known for one of Europe’s largest and best-preserved historic centres.
Return fares from Dubai start at AED 2,442 in Economy Lite and AED 10,012 in Business Class for Riga. Salzburg fares start at AED 2,699 and AED 13,175, while Vilnius fares begin at AED 3,112 and AED 10,301.
The launch follows recent services to Aleppo, Bangkok, Benghazi and Pokhara, and the planned resumption of flights to Skopje on April 1, 2027.
