Emirates NBD announced yesterday an agreement with flydubai, which will facilitate ticket payments through its vast electronic banking channels. Flydubai is Dubai's first low-cost airline and began commercial operations with flights to Beirut on June 1, 2009. The airline has since begun flights to Amman, Damascus and Alexandria. This agreement is the most recent from a series of initiatives developed by Emirates NBD that has lent support to the UAE Government and its various programmes, and adds a new dimension of convenience to the lives of frequent travellers. With this new partnership, customers booking flights online at www.flydubai.com can pay through internet banking, ATMs, cash deposit machines and via SMS.?
