Dubai Airports, operator of the world’s leading international airport, and the region’s leading car booking app CAREEM, have teamed up to offer ground transport discounts to Dubai residents travelling via Dubai International (DXB) this summer.
The agreement provides 25 per cent discount to customers booking the ‘Ride Later’ CAREEM service, to arrive at Dubai International (DXB) three hours in advance of their flight time. The deal, available from June 30th until September 1st 2016, is part of Dubai Airports’ HangOut@DXB programme that incentivises and rewards passengers who arrive early at the airport during the busy summer peak.
“Dubai International has over 150 food and beverage options, world-class shopping and promotions, spas, competitive currency exchange options and pharmacies, live entertainment and a host of other services designed for international travellers,” said Eugene Barry, Executive Vice President of Commercial & Communications at Dubai Airports. “Our partnership with CAREEM is an example of how Dubai Airports is working to ensure that our customers’ summer adventure starts at the airport.”
Dubai Airports expects near record passenger numbers during the next three weekends with some 240,000 travellers passing through the airport per day. In addition to HangOut@DXB and to prepare for the busy season, Dubai Airports will deploy additional staff to help smooth the passenger journey from kerbside to gate and will also conduct a public awareness campaign about summer travel.
“We are obsessed with making lives easier and more convenient. We are in the business of driving smiles, and such collaborations do just that.” Said Aura Lunde, General Manager CAREEM UAE. “We are big on partnerships simply because they benefit everyone especially our customers. Teaming up with Dubai Airports will facilitate and simplify travellers’ lives during the busy summer months and that’s what CAREEM is all about. All customers have to do is enter the code HANGOUTDXB while booking ‘Ride Later’, and they will get their 25% discount to the airport”.
Introduced last year, HangOut@DXB will feature prize giveaways, promotions, musical performances, sports screenings and other incentives to entice passengers to start their summer travel by getting to the world’s busiest international airport earlier than intended for their flights, and taking full advantage of all that DXB has on offer.
