The seasonal route to Dubai begins on December 20, 2026, launching with two weekly frequencies on Sundays and Tuesdays before adding a Friday rotation on January 8, 2027. The three-weekly schedule is slated to operate until March 28, 2027, complementing existing service on the route provided by flydubai.
On March 26, 2027, the carrier will inaugurate flights to London-Stansted with two weekly frequencies, operated on Mondays and Fridays. This service becomes the 27th destination in SkyUp's summer schedule from Chișinău, joining announced routes such as Vienna, Milan-Bergamo, Pula, Split, and Paris-Charles de Gaulle.

The SkyUp brand brings together three distinct air operators: SkyUp Airlines in Ukraine (PQ), SkyUp MT Limited in Malta (U5), and Sky Up Nistru in Moldova (4V), the latter holding authorizations for commercial flights to the European Union and the United Kingdom.
