Flydubai has inaugurated three new routes from Dubai to Iran, expanding its Iranian network to 11 destinations. The latest additions are Bushehr, Qeshm, and Tabriz, bringing the carrier's total offering from Dubai to 130 airports this year.

The details of the three routes indicate low frequencies, reflecting their status as some of flydubai's least-served markets. All routes offer onward connectivity over Dubai with flydubai and its partner Emirates, enhancing global connectivity for the three Iranian cities. Notably, Tabriz now has foreign routes to Gulf hubs for the first time.

None of these routes operate from Dubai's Terminal 3, which complicates connectivity with Emirates flights. However, most passengers are expected to be flying point-to-point.
