flydubai, the Dubai-based airline, has partnered with Aster DM Healthcare to offer passengers COVID-19 PCR testing at a special rate.
A special rate of AED 180 per COVID-19 PCR test is available for flydubai passengers traveling from Dubai with testing services available at 28 Aster Hospitals and Clinics across Dubai and the Northern Emirates.
Passengers are required to submit a valid flydubai booking confirmation along with their Emirates ID or passport copy to redeem the offer. The test reports are issued after 48 hours and passengers who require test results in 24 hours can visit any Aster Hospital branch in Dubai, the Bur Dubai Aster Clinic branch or any Aster Clinic branch in Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah or Sharjah.
Hamad Obaidalla, Chief Commercial Officer at flydubai, said: “We have been working hard to give our passengers the confidence and peace of mind that they need when they travel. In this new way of travelling, we recognise that the precautionary measures that are in place result in additional planning and preparation for passengers as well as associated costs. This service, in partnership with Aster DM Healthcare, offers fast and efficient testing at a discounted price. Along with our safety measures onboard and our recently introduced free global cover for COVID-19, passengers can be encouraged to travel knowing that for each step of their journey these services will help more passengers fly again.”
The service is valid for all bookings done through flydubai.com, the flydubai mobile app, the flydubai Customer Centre or Travel Shops, the Holidays by flydubai portal, travel agents or any of flydubai’s travel partners. Passengers can call the Aster DM Healthcare call centre number on 04 440 0500 to book an appointment and to learn more about the test.
From its home in Dubai, flydubai has created a network of more than 90 destinations and over the next decade the airline will see its fleet grow by up to 236 aircraft. Since commencing operations in June 2009, flydubai has been committed to removing barriers to travel, creating free flows of trade and tourism and enhancing connectivity between different cultures across its ever-expanding network.
