flydubai (FZ, Dubai International) has placed an order with Boeing (BOE, Washington National) for thirty B787-9s, its first widebody aircraft.
The Emirati carrier did not disclose any delivery timelines in a deal signed during the ongoing Dubai Airshow 2023.
The aircraft will join flydubai's existing fleet of forty-seven B737-8s, thirty B737-800s, and three B737-9s. The ch-aviation Commercial Aviation Aircraft Data module shows it has a further 136 B737-8s on firm order from Boeing, having recently dropped the AC!7M1 variant from its future delivery pipeline.
The new order comes shortly after sister carrier Emirates (EK, Dubai International) dropped its own commitment for thirty B787-9s, replacing it with twenty B787-8s and fifteen B787-10s. As such, the mainline operator is no longer poised to fly the -9 variant.
