Flydubai to operate its full fleet of Boeing 737 Max by June

Flydubai plans to return its entire fleet of 14 Boeing 737 Max aircraft to the skies within the next two months, following extensive work to reactivate planes that have been grounded for two years.

The airline will initially operate the aircraft to routes close to its hub, starting with Iran and Pakistan, Mike Evans, senior vice president of customer experience, brand and communication, told an online media briefing on Tuesday.
