The service will begin with five flights a week and will increase to daily starting 04 May 2015.

CEO Ghaith Al Ghaith, said: “We are happy to welcome Sylhet, another previously underserved point, to our growing network of more than 90 destinations. This announcement sees our weekly service to Bangladesh grow to 34 flights, and we look forward to welcoming the people of Sylhet onboard Flydubai.”

The Subcontinent remains an important market for the hybrid carrier. Last year, the airline launched four routes in India, more than doubling its network in the country. Chennai will also welcome Flydubai’s first flight at the end of this month.

The Sylhet operation is in joint partnership with Regent Airways, Bangladesh.
