flydubai Prepares for Boeing 737 MAX to Rejoin its Fleet

Following the announcement by the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) outlining the return to service criteria for the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, flydubai will start the process of preparing the aircraft for passenger service.  This follows an exhaustive 20-month review which has involved the manufacturer, regulators, engineers, scientists, researchers, mechanics and pilots whose sole objective has been to safely return the aircraft to service.

Ghaith Al Ghaith, Chief Executive Officer of flydubai, commenting on the return to service, said: “The Boeing 737 MAX is an integral part of flydubai’s fleet, and I have full confidence in the aircraft as it returns to passenger service.  Safety is the founding principle of our business.  We said that we would only return the aircraft to service when it was safe to do so and that time is now.”
