UAE national carrier from Dubai
• • An efficient single fleet-type:
Operates a single fleet-type of 59
Boeing 737 aircraft
• • Record-breaking orders: Placed the

region at the 2013 and 2017 editions of
the Dubai Airshow
• • Enhancing connectivity: Carried
more than 70 million passengers since
it began operations in 2009
As a result of this growth, flydubai needed
to upgrade its IT infrastructure to create a
Digital Transformation capable of driving the
distribution of services and controls closer
