In the Fly Dubai
airline, the
up and coming short and mid-haul carrier from Dubai, has recently given their
competitors a run for their money. From early October on, the low-cost airline
will be rolling out Business Class seating across
their fleet with 3 rows of 2×2 seating to form the front of their planes.
The new ‘soft Italian leather’ seats, similar in offerings to most American
First Class seats, will boast a 12.1 inch high-definition touch-screen TV, in
seat power and a seat pitch of 42″, perfect for relaxing and browsing the 900
hours of entertainment options.
This isn’t just about the seat, as the
pseudo-low-cost carrier will also offer all the traditional benefits, including
priority check in, lounges and full 3-course meals on flights over 90 minutes.
They also announced that later this year, passengers will be able to relax in
Fly Dubai’s Business Class lounge ahead of their flight and will have access to
priority baggage collection upon arrival at their destination.
Commenting on the launch of the
airline’s Business Class services, Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO of Fly Dubai, stated,
“We are very pleased to announce the evolution of our passenger offering as we
continue to meet the travel needs of our customers. The introduction of
Business Class will provide greater choice for our passengers, who will have
access to faster check-in services, comfortable and spacious seating and can
enjoy a variety of internationally -inspired menus during their journey.”
The airline has just received its first Business Class
equipped aircraft and the first route where Fly Dubai will deploy its new
Business Class will be between Dubai and Kiev on October 8, followed by Male,
Istanbul, Mineralyne Vody and Bucharest later this year.
