Flydubai 'will move to Dubai World Central'

Flydubai will eventually move to Al Maktoum International at Dubai World Central (DWC), shaikh Ahmad Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, chairman and CE of Emirates airline and Group and chairman of Flydubai, said Wednesday. Flydubai has previously avoided confirming it will one-day move to the new airport, despite it being widely spoken of among Dubai's senior aviation executives and officials for over 18 months. But Wednesday, chairman shaikh Ahmad confirmed the airline would be shifted to DWC from its current base at Dubai International’s Terminal 2. “We’re slowly moving Flydubai to that side,” he said DWC is Dubai’s future mega-hub with a slated capacity to one day handle as many as 240m passengers a year. It is currently capable of handling up to 7m passengers a year. <br/>
