Carrier Becomes New Customer, Reinforces Confidence In Dubai Growth Plan
Airbus announced at the Dubai Airshow 2025 that flydubai signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Airbus for the purchase of 150 A321neo airliners, making the carrier a new Airbus customer. The deal underlines flydubai’s confidence in Dubai’s growth plans.
His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of flydubai, signed the MoU along with Christian Scherer, CEO of Commercial Aircraft for Airbus, during a ceremony attended by Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO of flydubai, on the second day of the Airshow.
HH Sheikh Al Maktoum said, “We are pleased to announce a landmark agreement for 150 A321neo aircraft, representing another important milestone in flydubai’s journey. This new agreement is not only about adding aircraft. It supports the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai and aligns with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33.
“This strategic addition diversifies our narrow-body fleet and strengthens our long-term expansion plans. This will enable flydubai to play a key role in the success of Dubai World Central’s expansion plans, an airport we aim to become the largest airport in the world.
“The A321neos will support the next phase of our network development and enable us to meet rising demand across our markets. We look forward to establishing a strong and enduring partnership between flydubai and Airbus.”
Scherer said, “We welcome flydubai, one of the Middle East’s most ambitious and fast-growing carriers, as a new Airbus customer. The decision to invest in and introduce the A321neo into its fleet is another endorsement of the added value Airbus brings in terms of range, efficiency and passenger comfort. We look forward to supporting flydubai as it enables new growth and possibilities with our aircraft.”
The addition of the newest A321neo airliners will support the strategy of flydubai to expand its network and offer customers access to new destinations with greater efficiency and comfort.
