flydubai strengthens strategic growth with 12 new aircraft deliveries in 2025
Post Views: 47 flydubai has taken delivery of seven new aircraft so far in 2025, with a further five Boeing 737 MAX 8s scheduled to join its fleet before the end of the year. These additions form an integral part of the airline's strategic growth plans, enabling the continued expansion of its network, enhancing operational efficiency and increasing capacity on existing routes. The seven new aircraft, received between April and August 2025, have seen the flydubai fleet grow to 93 aircraft. Once all 12 aircraft have been delivered this year, flydubai's fleet will stand at more than 95 aircraft, supporting the carrier's growing network of more than 135 destinations in 57 countries. This expansion continues to open up underserved markets, creating more travel opportunities and further strengthening Dubai's position as a leading global aviation hub. Ghaith Al Ghaith, Chief Executive Officer at flydubai, said: '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.' 'The continued interest from our financing partners highlights the strength of our business model and our commitment to contributing to the UAE's leadership in global aviation. Looking ahead, these aircraft will enable us to unlock new destinations, optimise our operations and play an even greater role in supporting Dubai's growth as an international aviation hub,' added Al Ghaith. The favourable response to the airline's financing Request for Proposals (RFPs) and its ability to secure competitive financing for these deliveries reflect the strong confidence that global financial institutions and lessors have in flydubai's robust business model and its future growth prospects. The positive appetite from the market underscores the airline's resilience and its role as a key driver in the UAE's aviation sector. Financing for the first seven aircraft received this year has been secured under Islamic financing from Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB), conventional debt financing from The National Bank of Ras Al Khaimah (RAKBANK), as well as sale and leaseback transactions with JP Lease Products & Services Co., Ltd (JLPS) and JLPS Ireland Limited.

Flydubai to add 12 aircraft in 2025 but still 20 short of goal
Flydubai will receive 12 new aircraft this year, though it remains 20 planes behind its original delivery projections, the airline's chief executive said Thursday. The Dubai-based carrier has taken delivery of seven Boeing 737 MAX 8s in 2025, with five more expected before year-end, bringing its fleet to 93 aircraft. In a report on Khaleej Times, CEO Ghaith Al Ghaith said the deliveries are part of a backlog that has been delayed in recent years, impacting the airline's expansion plans. Airlines in the UAE and globally have faced delays in aircraft deliveries, with Flydubai noting last year that Boeing's updated schedule had significantly affected its growth strategy. Despite the challenges, Flydubai has added 11 new destinations this year, including Antalya, Al Alamein, Damascus and Peshawar. Four more European destinations — Chisinau, Iasi, Vilnius and Riga — are scheduled to launch between September and December, expanding the carrier's network to more than 135 destinations in 57 countries. Financing for the first seven aircraft delivered this year has come from a mix of Islamic financing through Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, conventional debt from the National Bank of Ras Al Khaimah, and sale-leaseback agreements with JP Lease Products & Services and JLPS Ireland Limited. Al Ghaith said the additional aircraft will help the airline open new routes, optimize operations and strengthen Dubai's role as an international aviation hub.

Dubai's Heritage Mosques to be Upgraded Under New Strategy
Dubai has launched a forward-looking initiative aimed at merging urban modernization with heritage preservation. A strategic cooperation agreement between Dubai Municipality and the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD) will restore and maintain the emirate's heritage mosques, safeguarding their traditional character and authentic architectural elements. This move embodies Dubai's broader commitment to balancing rapid urban growth with cultural conservation. Under the agreement, Dubai Municipality will lead the restoration of these historical religious sites, ensuring their architectural identity remains intact. Meanwhile, IACAD will uphold operational standards, managing the appointment of imams, muezzins, and preachers, as well as overseeing daily cleaning and religious programming to preserve religious and cultural continuity. A key component of the strategy includes enhancing Eid prayer grounds. These open-air spaces will be upgraded to better accommodate Dubai's expanding urban landscape and population, with upgraded designs and improved readiness to host large-scale gatherings during significant religious observances. The agreement also extends to the improvement of funeral and cemetery services. Dubai Municipality will refine mortuary washing facilities and provide logistical enhancements, while IACAD will ensure that all Shariah-compliant and religious protocols are met, including staffing, training, licensing, and operational oversight. This initiative is part of Dubai's evolving strategy to enhance institutional collaboration and improve residents' quality of life. As expressed by Ahmad Bin Ghalita, Director-General of Dubai Municipality, the agreement reinforces efforts to 'provide high-quality services that benefit the entire community while preserving the authentic character of historic mosques and prayer sites.' Dubai Government's Media Office emphasized the partnership is aimed at 'blending urban progress with heritage conservation.' By forging a unified vision for mosque design and construction, this collaboration sets a blueprint for harmonizing modern infrastructure and deep-rooted cultural identity. The move sends a strong message: as Dubai continues to develop into a global urban hub, it remains deeply committed to preserving its rich religious and architectural heritage.
