Flydubai Destinations

[Hadii]

Hi Folks
Can someone elaborate as to why Flydubai chose Multan, Sialkot and Faisalabad over Lahore and Islamabad? Major Gulf airlines are also competing with Flydubai on these routes. How could you justify this decision in terms of marketing strategy?
Regardless to this, is there any probability that Flydubai will initiate flight from Lahore and Islamabad in near future?

I think in addition to above they also fly to Quetta.

Probably permission for Lahore and Islamabad flights not granted by Pakistan?

FlyDubai, in my humble opinion flies to destinations that are not served by the ME3. Since ME3s cover Pakistan's major airports frequently. It leaves a space for other airlines such as FlyDubai & AirArabia to fly to cities with their single isle aircraft. The markets in these cities are not strong enough to be serviced by wide body aircraft. Therefore leaving room for airlines like FlyDubai to take advantage of.
