The airline will introduce 10 suites to its newest aircraft this year

Dubai-based carrier Flydubai has unveiled its latest premium business class seat, offering passengers direct aisle access, added comfort and privacy.

The new seats will be rolled out before the end of the year

Flydubai is the launch customer for this new seat, designed in collaboration with Safran Seats, one of the world's leading manufacturers of aircraft seats, and JPA Design, a multinational design company operating in the transportation, interiors, and product design arenas.

Commenting on the new launch, Flydubai chief executive officer Ghaith Al Ghaith said: “Flydubai is committed to exceeding expectations. Our business and product offerings have evolved from the initial no-frills model over the past 14 years to cater to the ever-growing needs of our customers and the markets we operate to. We have come a long way since the introduction of our first Business Class offering in 2013, which has served us well. Today, we are proud to unveil a new premium product which rivals the Business Class experience offered by many airlines on wide-body aircraft.”

All seats will offer added comfort and direct aisle access

Daniel Kerrison, Vice President of Inflight Product at Flydubai added: “The new business suite will take comfort on board to the next level. The increased height of the back-shell, a sliding suite door and direct aisle access for every passenger create a level of privacy never before seen on Boeing 737s. We have been working with Safran Seats and JPA Design over the past three years to develop an experience that meets the growing demand for premium air travel services across our network, offering passengers wide-body comfort on our narrow-body fleet.”
