Flydubai braces for more frequencies, fleet expansion


Since its maiden flight in June 2009, flydubai, the world’s fastest growing start-up airline and the Middle East’s largest low-cost carrier, has flown 10.4 million passengers, extended its global network to 52 routes, and most recently posted its first annual net profit of $41.4 million for 2012.
