Drukair, Bhutan’s flagship airline, has launched a twice-weekly flight service connecting Bhutan and Dubai, with a stopover in Delhi. This new route provides Bhutanese travelers easier access to the UAE, while also enhancing connectivity between Bhutan and the Middle East.
The flight schedule from Paro Airport (PBH) to Dubai International Airport (DXB) includes a stop in Delhi, offering a convenient travel option for passengers. Departures from Paro are set for Mondays and Fridays at 08:00, arriving in Delhi by 10:00 and continuing on to Dubai, where the flight lands at 13:40 Bhutan Standard Time. The return journey departs Dubai on Tuesdays and Saturdays at 04:00, with a stopover in Delhi before reaching Paro at 11:40 (local time).
To celebrate the launch, Drukair is offering a 20% discount on fares with the promo code ‘DUBAI20,’ available for bookings until 28 February 2025.
“Launching services to Dubai is a proud moment for Drukair,” said Tandi Wangchuk, Drukair’s Chief Executive Officer. “It reflects our expanding international presence and our commitment to connecting Bhutan to the world.”
This route is expected to strengthen tourism links, making Bhutan more accessible to travelers from the Middle East and beyond, while also offering more travel options for Bhutanese visitors heading to the UAE.
