UAE’s flydubai Reduces Boeing 737 MAX Order by 65 Aircraft

Budget carrier flydubai on Wednesday said it had reduced its Boeing 737 MAX order by 65 aircraft.

“Flydubai has reached an agreement with Boeing and the airline has adjusted its aircraft orders which had been placed in 2013 and 2017. Flydubai will revise down the total number of aircraft it will receive by 65 aircraft to 172,” the Dubai-based airline said in a statement to Khaleej Times.

The changes to flydubai’s aircraft order follow a review of its fleet plans in line with the airline’s strategy of rebuilding the travel sector following the Covid-19 pandemic and the changing dynamics of the airline’s route structure, the Dubai-based airline said.
