Flydubai has recently welcomed seven new aircraft deliveries in 2025, with plans for five additional Boeing 737 MAX 8s set to join its fleet by year-end. This brings the total count of the flydubai fleet to 93 aircraft.

These new additions are crucial to the airline’s strategic growth initiatives, enabling the expansion of its service routes, improving operational efficiency, and increasing capacity on existing routes. Per a report from TradeArabia, the influx of these aircraft boosts the fleet to a total of 93 units, with expectations that the final tally will exceed 95 by the end of the year, supporting a network that encompasses more than 135 destinations across 57 nations. This ongoing growth is aimed at enhancing access to underserved markets and reinforcing Dubai’s status as a leading hub for global aviation.

Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO of flydubai, stated, “The arrival of these new aircraft is a testament to our long-term strategic vision and our confidence in the future of air travel. Our fleet investment supports our mission to offer greater choice, enhanced convenience, and improved connectivity for our passengers. These deliveries are part of a backlog extensively delayed in recent years, and despite receiving 12 aircraft this year, we remain 20 aircraft behind our original projections.”

He further added, “The continued interest from our financing partners signifies the robustness of our business model and our commitment to contributing to the UAE’s position as a leader in global aviation. Looking ahead, these aircraft will enable us to unlock new destinations, optimize our operations, and further enhance Dubai’s role as an international aviation hub.”
