Flydubai said that since the flight restrictions entered into force in March, its specialized teams from all departments and departments in the carrier have not stopped preparing to return to service.
She added in a press statement issued today that she was keen to provide all support for government requests for return flights as well as freight flights that contributed to the smooth flow of basic commodities through the carrier's network and beyond.
The carrier said it enabled 23,000 passengers to return to their homes, and full cargo flights continued to operate to ensure the continued flow of essential goods and goods imported into Dubai and beyond. During April and early June, flydubai transported 3,704,991 kg through 657 flights to 35 destinations.
In addition, fly teams have continued their efforts to prepare for a return to service. Over the past few months, the company has adopted a new concept for passenger travel by following best practices from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the World Health Organization and the General Authority for Civil Aviation in accordance with its current high standards.
She said that these efforts include a wide program of sterilization across all points of contact throughout the duration of the traveler’s journey, as the company adopts a comprehensive program to clean and sterilize its aircraft every day with cleaning products approved by the manufacturer. In the cabin, the air is exchanged every two to three minutes and sterilized when it enters the cabin after passing through highly efficient particulate air filters (HEPA) that remove more than 99.9% of any particles that may be present.
The tanker team of qualified and highly experienced engineers works around the clock to perform aircraft maintenance tasks according to a set schedule to ensure that all of its aircraft are maintained according to the highest levels of airworthiness in preparation for a return to service.
Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO of flydubai, said, "We are pleased with the announcement made by the relevant government authorities, and we thank them for their strong leadership and continuous guidance during these unprecedented times. The steps taken across the UAE will allow us to return to service in a safe manner." Dubai has always been a global hub for aviation according to the highest international standards, and the joint efforts of various industry players over the past few months will allow our passengers to travel again in a safe environment. We are always looking forward to welcoming our passengers on board our aircraft. "
The airline said it will announce more details about the concept of its new flights and its regular flight schedule in due course.
