The Emirates sister company FlyDubai intends to return to Bratislava early. The offer will be suspended on March 13, 2020, because at that time the government of Slovakia prohibited all international flights. Now the low-cost airline has announced that the Dubai-Bratislava route will be reactivated on February 6, 2021.
For the time being, FlyDubai wants to fly between the two cities on Saturdays. Boeing 737-800 machines are used. The Slovak airline Air Explore currently offers a non-stop connection to Stockholm-Arlanda. This is served on Sundays, but only twice a month. Since the carrier has lost many ACMI orders due to the corona pandemic, they tried their hand at the line in summer 2020.
