The Dubai-based airline showed its recent developments at the Arabian Travel Market (ATM). The changes reflect the need to adapt to recent events and needs, especially the covid-19.
The passenger experience was modified in order to minimize the contact between passengers and the crew, aiming at the safety of everyone and offering confidence to passengers to travel again with the company. At the moment, passengers who book a flight through flydubai.com will receive free global coverage for Covid-19-related costs to provide greater peace of mind when traveling.
In the words of Daniel Kerrison, vice president of products on board flydubai: “The start of the pandemic in 2020 changed the way people travel and airlines operate. We took all necessary precautionary measures to protect our passengers and that meant doing things differently. We temporarily interrupt our duty-free sales on board, change the meal service to individually packaged meals, disable our touch screens and limit movement in the cabin. A year later, we gradually and safely reintroduced some of the services on board and continued to add new features to enhance our experience on board. "

In addition, there are free streaming services on board for the fleet of 36 Boeing 737-800 NG aircraft. The Wi-Fi connectivity provider is Airtime. Thus, passengers spend their time entertained and without further contact with other people. This system will replace conventional economy cabin backrest entertainment.
For passengers who opt for business class, they will continue to have access to the company's Inflight Entertainment (IFE), with touchscreen screens and audio, video, games, famous TV series and films from the Bollywood Arab cinema.
“Flydubai is committed to meeting the needs of its passengers. On-board entertainment and Wi-Fi connectivity have become an essential part of the travel experience. The new free streaming service will allow more passengers to have fun while flying. We will be adding more content in other languages "u200b"u200bin the coming months. "
10 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, out of a total of 14, have returned to service since April 8, as they have met all regulatory requirements. These planes were not left out of the changes in entertainment: there are 11.6-inch full HD screens, music and games in English, Arabic and Russian.
In addition, planes with the Boeing Sky interior provide passengers with a more relaxing travel environment.
Airlines are adapting and creating solutions to provide a smoother and safer trip. Not only for covid-19, but for all the changes that the market requires.
