In addition, Business Class passengers will benefit from having their own dedicated cabin crew. Travellers will be offered a selection of cold light food and accompaniments on short flights and the choice of a three-course meal from a specially designed Halal menu on flights of 90 minutes and above.
On the ground
Business Class passengers will be able to take advantage of flydubai’s priority check-in, conveniently located just 120 paces from the car park, as well as the new facilities at the recently upgraded and expanded Terminal 2 at Dubai International Airport.
Later this year, passengers will be able to relax in flydubai’s Business Class lounge ahead of their flight and will have access to priority baggage collection upon arrival at their destination.
A dedicated business team will also be available 24 hours a day to attend to queries and assist in ticket booking, meal selection and telephone check-in.
The airline will receive delivery of the first aircraft with a business class cabin in August 2013. All new aircraft subsequently delivered will include business and economy classes. Business class tickets will be available for purchase on selected flights from August 2013, and the inaugural flight is scheduled to take off in October 2013.
“flydubai’s agility and flexibility has been an integral part of our young airline’s journey since its launch four years ago. We are committed to innovation and expanding the range of services on offer for both our business and leisure travellers. We have provided easier access for our passengers to 44 previously underserved markets, creating free flows of trade and tourism, to support Dubai’s economic development. Passengers will now be able to enjoy these services on destinations across our network including some that have never offered business class air travel before,” Al Ghaith continued.
