Dubai: Flydubai said on Wednesday it had a record year in 2014, having launched 23 new routes and created a network of 89 destinations across the GCC, Europe, Africa and the Indian Subcontinent, 56 of which were previously underserved. Gaith Al Gaith, CEO flydubai, said in a statement that in 2015 the budget carrier will continue to support the UAE government’s 2020 vision to attract 20 million tourists to Dubai by adding more routes, more frequencies and more aircraft. “Aviation in the UAE continues to play an important role and is poised to contribute 37.5 per cent to Dubai’s GDP by 2020,” he stated.
