FlyDubai orders 75 Boeing aircrafts in deal worth $13 billion

FlyDubai, the lower-cost sister carrier of Emirates, said on Wednesday it ordered 75 additional Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in a deal worth $13 billion (€11.23bn). Emirates meanwhile bought eight Airbus A350-900 aircraft at a list price of $3.4bn (€2.94bn).

The announcements came after FlyDubai earlier at the Dubai Air Show made a major Airbus A321neo purchase of 150 aircraft for $24bn (€20.73bn). Since its first flight in 2009, FlyDubai had only flown Boeing 737s, making the sale a major win for the European consortium at the biennial air show.
