Dubai-based airline Flydubai began operating direct flights from Dubai to Budapest and Warsaw on September 30, according to a press release sent to the Budapest Business Journal.

The Hungarian crew operating the first flight also included the captain's daughter Rebeka Cserné Fábián, chief flight attendant, and Réka Tóth, flight attendant.
Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO of Flydubai, said, "We are expanding our network by launching flights to Budapest and Warsaw during the winter timetable, offering our passengers more options. Our newly launched flights to Hungary and Poland will also strengthen our links with the UAE."
