DUBAI - Travel to and from Dubai World Central, DWC, is now 25 percent cheaper thanks to a partnership between Dubai Airports and Dubai’s technology platform, Careem.

A long-term agreement, which will make travel to DWC even more convenient, was announced today and marked with a traditional water salute, usually reserved for much larger vehicles with wings.

Using the code FLYDWC, the 25 percent discount will be applied to all Careem customers using the app and travelling to and from DWC.

Just days after releasing the full schedule into the airport during the southern runway refurbishment programme at DXB, which will see flight movements at the airport increase by over 700 percent, the partnership with the local transport supplier will support customers during this 45-day period.

Commenting on the partnership, EVP Commercial at Dubai Airports, Eugene Barry, said, "We are delighted to partner with Careem and to have this discount available to our customers for an extended period. DWC is an evolving airport offering both residents and visitors fast and convenient access to a growing choice of destinations and is definitely worth considering."
