Wednesday, June 8, 2011 — flydubai, Dubai's pioneering low cost airline, has announced the launch of a dedicated bus service for those wishing to travel from Abu Dhabi and Al Ain to Dubai International Airport's Terminal 2.

Starting on Wednesday, June 15, 2011, flydubai's new bus service will operate four times a day to Abu Dhabi and three times a day to Al Ain.

Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO of flydubai, said:  "This is a first step in making our hub in Terminal 2 more accessible to passengers across the UAE.
