Flydubai orders 225 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in US$27b deal
Flydubai signed a landmark agreement for 225 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, with a list price value of US$27b, at the Dubai Air Show. According to Boeing, the deal represents the largest-ever single-aisle jet order—by number of aircraft and total value—from a Middle East carrier. The transaction includes a commitment for 175 MAX aircraft, plus purchase rights for 50 more. When finalised, the manufacturer said the purchase “promises to sustain tens of thousands of direct and indirect jobs in Boeing’s US factories and network of suppliers.” This new deal surpasses the Flydubai's previous record order of 75 MAXs and 11 Next-Generation 737-800s, which was signed at the 2013 Dubai Air Show. <br/>
