Flydubai may need to lease even more planes to add capacity after Boeing announced last week that the 737 Max will not return to service until the summer.
Boeing said it does not expect the grounded Max to fly again until ‘mid-2020’, citing the lengthy certification process.
Flydubai leased four 737 NGs from Smartwings in late November to boost capacity during the busy holiday period while its 14 Max aircraft remained stuck on the tarmac.
The airline currently has 14 Max’s in its fleet but has 250 on order and has had to operate with a depleted capacity since two 737 Max crashes caused the jet to be grounded worldwide in March 2019.
The grounding has meant a 30% reduction in its flying schedule, flydubai said last year.
