Al Ghaith said Khartoum is enjoying increasing levels of investment and development and that makes the city an exciting new destination for Flydubai.
Al Ghaith said:
"Sudan has enjoyed increased exposure in recent years because of its important involvement in the global oil industry. In addition it has growing glass, textile and printing industries which are rapidly developing and enjoying new levels of investment. There are also impressive levels of investment being ploughed into the infrastructure development of downtown Khartoum which is a sign of the city's commitment to modernize and grow.
He added, "We feel Flydubai can play an important role in bringing visitors and potential investors to Khartoum, as well as help to ensure the undoubted opportunities that are available in Sudan are accessible to a wider range of people."
Despite the distance from Dubai to Khartoum - 1,600 miles - Flydubai is keeping fares low.
The Flydubai model is simple, with customers paying only for the services they want to receive. Passengers have the option to purchase checked-in baggage in advance. Checked baggage at the airport is also strictly subject to availability and passengers are advised to book online early to secure the space, as only pre-purchased baggage can be guaranteed.
A nominal payment allows customers to select their seat and secures the extra legroom positions. Bookings can be changed for a small fee, plus any difference in the fare, and food and drink can be purchased on board.
Flydubai operates from a modernised and enhanced Terminal 2 on the north side of Dubai International Airport.
