FlyDubai signed an agreement for 75 Boeing 737 Max airliners, plus options for 75 more.

FlyDubai has signed deals that could see up to 300 narrowbody airliners added to its fleet with prospective orders placed at the Dubai Airshow this week. On Wednesday, the low-cost carrier signed a memorandum of understanding for 75 Boeing 737 Max aircraft, plus options for another 75. That was 24 hours after it signed a similar agreement with Airbus for 150 A320neos.

The UAE-based airline indicated that it will later specify which of the 737-8, -9 or -10 models it choses for the firm orders that should follow. It is in the process of expanding its route network to new destinations in Europe and Africa, and already operates 96 of the 737 twinjets.
