Since the beginning of 2025, the airline has received seven new Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, with five more expected to join by the end of the year, bringing its fleet to over 95 aircraft operating in 57 countries and serving more than 135 destinations worldwide.
This new acquisition is part of flydubai's strategic growth plan intended to increase capacity, open new markets, and strengthen Dubai as a leading international aviation hub.
The new aircraft also support the company's operations in Israel, entering its fifth year since the route's opening in 2020, making Tel Aviv one of the primary destinations in its network.

In addition to purchasing aircraft, flydubai, represented in Israel by Open Sky, is investing in upgrading cabins in the existing fleet, adding new routes in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and expanding air and ground crews, currently with over 6,500 employees.
As mentioned, next November, the company will celebrate five years of operation in Israel, with 10 daily flights on the route and expectations for continued growth in the number of flights and passengers between Tel Aviv and Dubai.
