Flydubai to launch new cargo division

20 December 2011: Dubai's low cost carrier flydubai has announced the launch of its new cargo division to support its goal of making transportation of goods and people across the region via Dubai simple, accessible and affordable. Flydubai Cargo, which is due to start operations on January 1, will transport goods to all of the low cost carrier’s 46 destinations, as well as additional cities in India and Pakistan.

Cargo items including perishable items, textiles, electronics, couriered items, mail, pharmaceuticals and general cargo, can originate from any point on the flydubai network or beyond. With 60 per cent of all shipments expected to be transit cargo, flydubai has signed interline agreements with other airlines when moving items outside its network.
