Get ready, you will be able to travel a little bit fancier on flydubai soon

Dubai’s budget airline flydubai is getting an upgrade on its planes and guess what, it’s going to be a brand new cabin class. It was announced at the Dubai Airshow 2025 that Premium Economy will be available on flydubai’s Boeing planes, the CEO has announced.

Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO of flydubai has said that the airline aims to introduce this new Premium Economy class on Boeing aircrafts. He said in a statement: “We will have three classes. We will have premium economy, economy and business classes”. Currently there are only two classes available on flydubai planes, economy and business so now you’ll be able to have something in between when travelling with the airline.
