The airline has marked a number of milestones since it started in 2009, including expanding its network to 125 destinations in 58 countries, opening over 90 new routes, and operating a single fleet type of 87 Boeing 737 aircraft. It also celebrated transporting over 100 million passengers since it began operations.
Reflecting on its 15-year anniversary, HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of flydubai, said: “flydubai has become a key player in the aviation industry in the UAE and in the region and a major contributor to Dubai’s socio-economic development.
