FlyDubai launch date 'not affected' by delivery delays

Dubai's budget airline FlyDubai has reiterated its planned mid-2009 launch will not be pushed back due to aircraft delivery delays.

A spokesperson for the Dubai low-cost carrier - FlyDubai told on Wednesday that operations will go ahead this summer, despite Boeing’s aircraft production delay announcement late last year.

In November, a 58-day machinist strike at the US aircraft manufacturer’s Seattle plant halted aircraft production, and subsequent deliveries. Several airlines including FlyDubai are thought to have been affected by the setback.

ON SCHEDULE: Low-cost carrier FlyDubai will launch as planned in mid-2009, the company said on Wednesday.
