}}{{Contains Arabic text}}flydubai ({{lang-ar|فلاي دبي}}), legally Dubai Aviation Corporation ({{lang-ar|مؤسسة دبي للطيران}}[2]), is a government-owned low-cost airline with its head office and flight operations in Terminal 2 of Dubai International Airport.[3] The airline operates a total of 95 destinations, serving the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Europe from Dubai.[4]

History

In July 2008, the government of Dubai established the airline.[3] Although flydubai is not part of The Emirates Group, Emirates supported flydubai during the initial establishing phase.[5] On 14 July 2008 flydubai signed a firm order with American aircraft manufacturer Boeing at the Farnborough Air Show for 50 Boeing 737-800s with a total value of US$3.74 billion, with the option to change the order to the larger and longer range Boeing 737-900ER, according to the airline's demand.{{citation needed|date=June 2018}}

The first of these aircraft was delivered on 17 May 2009.{{citation needed|date=June 2018}} Scheduled flights commenced on 1 June, with services to Beirut, Lebanon, and Amman, Jordan. Since then, the route network has been significantly expanded.

On 13 February 2013, flydubai announced that it was in talks with Boeing and Airbus for a 50-aircraft order.[6][7] On 19 June 2013, the airline announced that it would be adding Business Class service to its flights.[8] The Business class cabin would feature 12 seats between aisle and window, three-course meals, 12-inch televisions, a business class lounge, Italian leather seats to its offering in a bid to cater to business travellers in the emirate, access to more than 200 films, and power outlets suitable for plugs from over 170 countries.[9][10]

Corporate affairs

Management and ownership

The company was formed on 19 March 2008 as a venture by the Government of Dubai. The Government of Dubai also owns Emirates Airlines; however, the common ownership is the only connection between the two airlines. Even though the airline did get some help from its sister airline initially, it has been run independently since. Also, there was an initial move of executives, but the major bulk of the hiring comes from outside the Emirates group.[11]

The CEO of the company is Ghaith Al-Ghaith, who spent over 22 years with Emirates.[11] The chair of the company is Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, who is also the chairman of the Emirates group.

Headquarters

flydubai operates entirely out of Dubai and currently has its headquarters in Terminal 2 at Dubai International Airport in addition to some flights departing from Terminal 3.[12] Initially, flydubai had intentions to operate from the new Al-Maktoum International Airport in the Dubai World Centre in Jebel Ali.[12]

Development Centres

Flydubai sets up its first ‘Indian Development Centre’ (IDC) in Hyderabad. The centre leads flydubai’s IT and technology innovation which will focus on Passenger Service Systems (PSS).

IDC will be a hub for software development, research and operations.[13]

Order history

At the Farnborough Air Show in July 2008, the airline ordered 50 Boeing 737-800s valued at approximately US$3.74 billion with substitution rights to convert its 737-800 orders to 737-900ERs (extended range) in the future.[27]

In November 2010, flydubai agreed a sale and leaseback deal with Avolon on another four 737-800s.[28]

On 17 November 2013 at the Dubai Airshow, Boeing and flydubai announced a commitment for about 100 Boeing 737 MAX 8s and 11 Boeing 737-800 Next Generation aircraft. This commitment was valued at about US$11.4 billion at list prices, making it the largest ever Boeing single-aisle airliner purchase in the Middle-East.[29]

On 6 January 2014, flydubai finalised its Boeing 737 MAX order. The order was finalised with an order for 75 Boeing 737 MAX 8s and 11 Boeing 737-800 Next Generation aircraft, along with the purchase rights for 25 more Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. This order is valued at US$8.8 billion at list prices.[30]

On 31 July 2017, flydubai took delivery of its first Boeing 737 MAX 8, making it the first airline in the Middle East to operate the type.[31][32]

At the November 2017 Dubai Air Show, Flydubai signed a landmark commitment for 175 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and 50 purchase rights. This order for 225 aircraft is valued to be $27 billion at current list prices. More than 50 of the first 175 airplanes will be the new 737 MAX 10, while the rest will be the 737 MAX 9 and additional 737 MAX 8s. This historic commitment represents the largest single-aisle jet purchase by a Middle East airline.[33]

On 21 December 2017, flydubai finalized its purchase of 175 Boeing 737 MAX airplanes in the largest single-aisle jet order in Middle East history first announced at the 2017 Dubai Air Show.[34]
