I feel of course extremely honoured that we are in FlyDubai first. I've been entrusted
00:08
by His Royal Highness and Sheikh Ahmed entrusted to operate wide body and go to this level.
00:15
This meant that the people of FlyDubai have done a good job to deserve this honour and challenge.
00:22
Very excited because this challenge definitely will always bring the best in us and honoured
00:31
to be able to do that. From our point of view, I mean by the time I think we get the aircraft
00:36
we will be 18 years old as an airline so we are coming of age and again that is a fantastic sort
00:43
of time to grow and expand what we have done in FlyDubai where we challenge the convention
00:51
and created the airline that we have right now came with of course support that we got
00:59
from the infrastructure that we have here in Dubai and all of that and we think
01:04
this ingredients is also right there for the future to allow us to to do more and succeed
01:14
more and we always are guided by the principle embedded in us by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed
01:20
bin Rashid Al Maktoum where His Highness always said if you stand still people will pass you by
01:26
and we will never want to stand still and we want always to take the challenge on to
01:31
push ourselves and take advantage of the facilities position that the United Arab
01:38
Emirates found itself and our leaders position us here in Dubai. What happened right now
01:44
you can understand it based on all of the logistics and distribution chains and the
01:54
coming back life after Covid. I mean we see this not only with the aircraft with everything
02:01
and we understand that that is the case but we also feel that we are in the final phase
02:10
of this problem and things will be better moving on. Boeing is one of the greatest
02:20
companies in the whole world let alone in the airline business. Of course they have high
02:26
standards of course they will be better but you also realistic it's not only a Boeing issue
02:31
all the supply chains they will be all right we are very confident. These aircraft give us a scope
02:38
to dream and then gives us a bigger area to sort of focus on and we are extremely
02:50
sort of confident and we trust that the you know what Dubai composition of traffic
02:59
10 years ago 20 years ago is not the same now and it's going to continue to grow and change
03:05
and we believe that change and growth okay you have enough there for us to
03:13
to expand and take on a bigger map of the world to sort of fly to so yeah majority of the routes
03:23
will be new longer haul traffic than what we currently have and then there will be some
03:30
routes where we currently are short in terms of capacity with capacity restraints you know you
03:38
get flexibility by having this aircraft so wherever we have still a lack of flexibility by that time
03:45
we can deploy this aircraft that's why a smaller part of this idea where we deploy is on our
03:51
current routes majority of it will be new. In FlyDubai we are committed to operate to both
03:57
airports and I was saying to the guys you know if you heard last year we had the world cup here
04:02
and what an exciting time so it's always nice to come and operate we have very specific plan
04:10
to operate here and grow and this takes into account the availability of capacity in Dubai
04:18
airport and what will be available here and our future plan to grow it will be very strong fourth
04:24
quarter for us we already see that and I'm sure we'll do better than last year first half of next
04:31
year looks very good too.
