About FlyDubai
Flydubai (ICAO: FDB) is an Emirati government-owned low-cost airline based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, established in March 2008 by the Dubai government. It commenced commercial operations on June 1, 2009, with inaugural flights to Beirut and Amman. The airline was conceived as a complement to Emirates, aiming to offer affordable flights and expand Dubai's global connectivity, operating independently despite receiving initial support from its sister company.
The airline's primary operational hub is Dubai International Airport (DXB), where it mainly operates from Terminal 2. Some flights also depart from Terminal 3 to facilitate seamless transfers with its codeshare partner, Emirates. Since October 2015, Flydubai has also operated flights from Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC). Flydubai has developed an extensive route network, serving over 125 to 136 destinations across 57 to 58 countries. Its network spans Africa, Central Asia, the Caucasus, Central and South-East Europe, the GCC and the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent, and South-East Asia, focusing on connecting Dubai with underserved markets.
Flydubai operates a single fleet-type consisting primarily of Boeing 737 aircraft. Its current fleet includes Next-Generation Boeing 737-800, Boeing 737 MAX 8, and Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft, with a reported fleet size of 96 Boeing 737s as of recent data. The airline is also expanding its fleet with wide-body aircraft, having placed an order for 30 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners at the 2023 Dubai Airshow, expected to join the fleet in 2026, and a provisional order for 150 Airbus A321neo aircraft in November 2025. Flydubai is not a member of any of the major airline alliances such as Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or Oneworld; however, it has a significant codeshare agreement with Emirates. The airline offers two main cabin classes: Business Class and Economy Class. Business Class provides enhanced comfort with options for lie-flat or reclining seats on MAX aircraft, personal HD touchscreens (15.6-inch on MAX, 12.1-inch on 737-800), dedicated cabin crew service, complimentary meals, snacks, and beverages, along with priority airport services including dedicated check-in and lounge access at Dubai International Airport. Economy Class focuses on providing an affordable and comfortable travel experience with in-flight entertainment options.
