‍DUBAI — flydubai (FZ) has announced its second destination in Thailand, Bangkok. Starting September 15, the airline will operate two daily flights to Bangkok Don Mueang International Airport (DMK), doubling its operations to Thailand to 28 weekly departures. FZ already operates two daily departures to Krabi (KBV), representing some of the airline’s longest flights, with a 7.5-hour block time, according to Cirium data.

The airline will operate its flights from Terminal 3 at DXB. Flight FZ1335 will depart at 11:00 am local time and land at 8:45 pm. Flight FZ1345 will depart at 01:20 am local time, landing at DMK airport at 11:10 am. 

The new service is offered as part of the flydubai and Emirates codeshare partnership, enabling passengers to benefit from smoother itineraries, a single ticket, through check-in of baggage, and complements Emirates’ already extensive offer to Bangkok (BKK). With the launch of this service, flydubai continues to expand its network, now spanning more than 135 destinations.

While flydubai’s expansion was severely affected by delivery delays in 2024, the airline has expanded in 2025 and is expected to announce its financial results in the coming days. The 2025 edition of the Dubai Airshow saw FZ increasing its order backlog by up to 400 units and becoming an Airbus customer, with a landmark order for up to 250 A321neo family aircraft, which will involve a mix of -neo, -LRs, and likely -XLRs to stretch far into Europe and South East Asia. 

Hamad Obaidalla, Chief Commercial Officer at flydubai, said: “Thailand remains a very popular destination for both leisure and business travel. The launch of our double-daily service to Bangkok reflects continued demand across our network and underscores our commitment to providing our customers with more convenient and flexible travel options. With our flights operating from Terminal 3 at Dubai International and in codeshare with Emirates, passengers can enjoy seamless connectivity through Dubai’s world-class aviation hub from destinations across the GCC, Europe, and beyond.”
