flydubai will start flights to Riga in Latvia, Salzburg in Austria, and Vilnius in Lithuania in December as part of its winter schedule, the airline said on Tuesday.

Flights to Riga will begin on December 11, and flights to Salzburg and Vilnius on December 12, according to flydubai. Each route will have three flights a week from Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport.

Riga flights (FZ 1441/1442) will operate on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Salzburg (FZ 1449/1450) and Vilnius (FZ 1263/1264) flights will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Ghaith Al Ghaith, flydubai’s Chief Executive Officer, said the routes widen the airline’s European network and reflect its long-term commitment to key markets. He said flydubai remains focused on “expanding travel choices and strengthening connectivity” between Dubai, Europe and its wider network as it opens more underserved destinations.

Jeyhun Efendi said winter travel continues to drive demand, and that the cities offer scenery, historic architecture and festive traditions. He said passengers can connect to more than 120 destinations on the airline’s network.

According to flydubai, return fares from Dubai start from 2,442 UAE dirhams in Economy Lite and 10,012 dirhams in Business Class for Riga. For Salzburg they start from 2,699 dirhams in Economy Lite and 13,175 dirhams in Business Class, and for Vilnius from 3,112 dirhams in Economy Lite and 10,301 dirhams in Business Class. The airline also lists from-fares for return trips starting in Europe, in euros.

The routes will operate under flydubai’s codeshare partnership with Emirates, allowing single-ticket bookings with baggage checked through to the final destination, the airline said. Passengers can connect in Dubai to destinations including Bangkok, Krabi, Colombo, Kathmandu, the Maldives and Zanzibar.

The airline said the new routes follow recent launches to Aleppo in Syria, Bangkok in Thailand, Benghazi in Libya and Pokhara in Nepal, and that it will resume nonstop flights to Skopje in North Macedonia from April 1, 2027.
