FLYDUBAI has delayed its planned flights to India.
In a press release issued last month, Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO of flydubai said, "flydubai had planned to begin operations to India with flights to Lucknow on July 13, Coimbatore on July 14 and Chandigarh on July 23, however, due to operational issues, we have had to delay these flights."
"We understand that this is very inconvenient for the passengers who have booked flights with us to India and we apologise for the disruption and disappointment caused.
"All passengers who have booked flights to India will be contacted within the next few days and will be given a full refund, plus a voucher for a free return flight to India or anywhere on the flydubai network, which will be valid for travel until the end of November 2009."
He added that India remained an important market for the airline which would make an announcement "in the very near future on when our flights to the region will begin".
