Kraków Airport gets direct connection with Dubai

State-owned flydubai airlines from the United Arab Emirates have started daily direct connections between Kraków and Dubai. This is the first airline connection between Kraków and the Gulf countries. Daily flights between the two cities will be served by the latest Boeing 737 MAX 8, which flydubai presented at Dubai Airshow in November last year. The Ambassador of the UAE in Poland, Yousif Eissa AlSabri, assessed that the relations of both countries are constantly developing, and the United Arab Emirates are one of Poland's most important economic partners in the Middle East. "I hope that this new air connection will allow us to further increase our cooperation also in the field of tourism and sport," he stressed. Jeyhun Efendi, vice president of commercial operations at flydubai, said that thanks to this cooperation, passengers from the capital of the Małopolska voivodship will gain a connection not only with Dubai, but also the largest interchange port in the world, which last year cleared 88 million passengers. From there, you can travel further with Emirates to over 200 destinations, including in Asia, Australia and Africa. Kraków Airport is the second airport in Poland in terms of the number of passengers served and the largest regional port, which last year handled over 5.8 million people, and for this year is forecasting a  9-percent increase in passenger traffic, which means exceeding the threshold of 6 million passengers per year.
