flydubai has received its eighth aircraft of 2011, bringing its total to 19 overall.The latest Boeing 737-800 NG fleet addition arrived on schedule from the Boeing factory in Seattle and has gone straight into service across the airline’s 38 operational destinations. flydubai CEO Ghaith Al Ghaith said: “This latest aircraft has arrived in Dubai at an opportune time. As we prepare for the busy Eid holiday, flydubai will be adding more flights to its most popular destinations, so the aircraft has gone straight into service to aid this growth.”Representing an investment of $80 million, the aircraft is the latest from flydubai’s 50-aircraft order made at the 2008 Farnborough Airshow to come off the production line. It is the 12th in the fleet to feature Boeing’s new Sky Interior, which incorporates mood settings to help prevent jetlag, as well as the Fiber-To-The-Screen In-Flight Entertainment system by Lumexis, meaning more than 60% of the fleet can now screen movies in high definition.”As the fastest growing start-up in the world, flydubai continues to set milestones on the ground as well as in the air. With the majority of our aircraft now fitted with In-Flight Entertainment, more passengers can enjoy a first-class on board experience with movies screened through the latest technology,” added Al Ghaith.
