flydubai has launched a new business class seat aboard its Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. The budget carrier posted images of the new seating option on Instagram and LinkedIn.

“Here’s a sneak peek of something new on our Boeing 737. If you spot it the next time you flydubai, share a picture with us here,” said the airline on its Instagram account.

The option is available on only one aircraft at the time, said flydubai in response to customer queries. The carrier added that flatbeds were still available. “If you see B737 MAX 8H listed as the aircraft type during the booking process, you’ll know it’s this one”

Return of MAX

flydubai, one of the world’s largest MAX customers, brought the aircraft back into service in April after the airline met all the requiremen­ts outlined in the Safety Decision issued by UAE’s aviation regulator.

Last year, Emirates airline launched a brand-new premium economy class and revealed plans of retrofitti­ng its fleet of Airbus A380s with the new seats. At less than half the price of a business class seat, premium economy offers extra legroom, wider seats, and more space to recline.
