flydubai opens Dubai-Pokhara route
flydubai expands its presence in Nepal with the launch of a new daily flight between Dubai and Pokhara, operational from 23 September 2026. The Dubai-based airline will become the first in the UAE to offer direct connections to Pokhara International Airport, the second destination served in the country after Kathmandu.
The new route will depart from Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport (DXB) and will be operated under the codeshare agreement with Emirates. For passengers, this means the ability to book simpler itineraries, with a single ticket, baggage check-in to the final destination and connections through the combined network of the two airlines.
Pokhara is one of Nepal's best-known destinations for leisure and adventure tourism. Located near the Annapurna range, it is considered a privileged gateway for trekking, nature experiences, eco-tourism and trips to discover western Nepal. The new direct connection from Dubai therefore makes a destination in great demand by international Travellers, mountain enthusiasts and outdoor tourism more accessible.
Daily flights to Pokhara are designed to meet demand from the United Arab Emirates, the Middle East, the GCC and Europe, thanks in part to connections offered via Dubai. The new route adds to existing connections with Kathmandu and helps improve Nepal's accessibility for business and leisure travel and visits to family and friends.
For those departing from Italy, Flydubai offers flights to Dubai from the following Italian airports: Milan Bergamo, Naples, Catania and Pisa, in addition to seasonal summer flights from Olbia. In addition, the possibility of continuing on the network of destinations of the company and partners.
