Flydubai, an airline from Dubai, is taking part in the Bahrain International Airshow (BIAS) 2024 for the very first time. This big airshow is happening from November 13 to November 15 at Sakhir Airbase in Manama, Bahrain. Flydubai is showing how much it values its flights to Bahrain, where it has been flying since 2009.

At the airshow, flydubai is displaying a special Boeing 737-800 plane. This plane has been improved on the inside, making it more comfortable for passengers. In Business Class, the plane has lie-flat seats that let travelers lie down and rest. People who visit the airshow on the first two days can look inside this plane to see the new cabin. Flydubai has been adding these changes to many of its planes to make flying nicer and smoother for everyone.

This upgrade plan for Flydubai’s planes started in 2024 and has already changed 15 Boeing 737-800 planes. Flydubai plans to upgrade two more planes by the end of this year and keep working on the upgrades in 2025. By then, about 20 planes in the flydubai fleet will have the new cabin style.
