Dubai to Kazan and Ufa

Flydubai has added two new Russian destinations to its network with flights to Kazan and Ufa.  The new routes bring flydubai’s network to 43 destinations across the GCC (Gulf Co-operation Council), North Africa, Indian Sub-Continent, Asia and the fringes of Europe.

Kazan is one of the major economic, political and tourist centres in Russia and the capital and largest city of the Republic of Tatarstan.  It is one of the most visited cities in Russia thanks to a 1,000-year history and the Kazan Kremlin, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site.  Kazan will host matches during the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

The city’s main industries, meanwhile, include machinery, chemical, petrochemical, and food production.  It is also home to Russia’s largest IT-park.

Ufa is the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan.  Its economy is based on fuel, energy and engineering complexes.  Ufa is also the largest oil refining centre in the Volga and the Urals, as well as a major transport hub, scientific, cultural and religious centre of Russia.  It is the fourth largest Russian city in terms of retail trade turnover, after Moscow, St Petersburg and Yekaterinburg. www.flydubai.com
