Flydubai operates flights to 10 Russia cities after its recent expansion to Nizhny Novgorod and Novosibirsk in October last year.
The Dubai carrier marked its first entry to the Russian market in 2010 with the launch of flights to Samara and Yekaterinburg. Five years on, the carrier continues to grow its network in the market opening up previously underserved destinations that had no or few direct links to the UAE.
