With the addition of Juba to its African network (which consists of Djibouti, Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan), flydubai has increased accessibility to and from Dubai, launching to date 32 routes that either did not previously have direct links with the emirate or were not served from Dubai by a designated UAE carrier.
