Permission to land

• SmartWings Fly, a Czech Republic airline, operates flight FZ523 to Dubai. According to the Pakistani media Shama TV, according to officials of the Civil Aviation Authority of Pakistan, a passenger on the Fly Dubai flight from Dubai to Dhaka fell ill. Later the captain of the flight contacted the air traffic controller at Karachi airport and sought permission for an emergency landing.
  Earlier this month, an Emirates flight en route from Sydney to Dubai landed in Perth, Australia due to a medical emergency. In another incident, a Brussels-bound flight of the same airline landed in the Iraqi city of Erbil due to a mid-air medical emergency.

In October 2022, flydubai signed an agreement with Czech-Republic-based airline Smart Wings. Under the agreement, flydubai leased four state-of-the-art Boeing 737-800 aircraft to Smart Wings to operate flights on selected routes including Chittagong, Dhaka, Colombo in Sri Lanka and Karachi, Multan, Muscat and Sialkot in Pakistan.
