flydubai CEO, Ghaith Al Ghaith, said: "We are thrilled to
welcome these four new aircraft into our fleet. These new additions show
flydubai's continued growth, with 13 planes now servicing 28 routes in just
18 months. These numbers show phenomenal growth and we show no sign of
slowing down, with ambitious growth plans that see us expanding still over
the coming months.

"Our four new aircraft are at the cutting edge of air travel
and we are certain our customers will enjoy the added comforts that these new
planes have to offer."

The four new aircraft additions come complete with flydubai's
revolutionary 'Fiber To The Screen' (FTTS(TM)) In-Flight Entertainment (IFE)
system from Lumexis. This fibre optic based system is lighter and thinner
than previous models, enabling it to fit comfortably into the airline's
special Recaro seats. This reduction in weight allows flydubai to offer their
customers the best in-flight entertainment on the market, while significantly
reducing the associated costs, meaning flydubai can keep its ticket prices
low.

In line with flydubai's culture of only charging travellers
for the services they use, the new IFE will be available as an optional extra
in the way that baggage and meals are. Passengers travelling on these new
flydubai aircraft, will have the ability to choose what they want to watch
depending on their preference and how much they want to spend.

In addition to state-of-the-art entertainment system, the new
planes are also among the first to be fitted with the new Boeing Sky
Interior. The spacious new interior aims to improve passenger comfort onboard
the new flydubai planes, and has subtle mood lighting to simulate night time,
day time and sunrise/sunset, as well as redesigned overhead bins to give more
cabin space and increased storage.
