Airbus is set to capture the bulk of a major flydubai jet order as ongoing negotiations could further increase its share, sources say. If finalised, the split would materially boost Airbus's intake from the Gulf carrier and add pressure to its near‑term production and backlog.

Briefing
A large flydubai allocation to Airbus would meaningfully change OEM order balance and production planning; Airbus recorded 78 deliveries in October and still needs roughly 235 jets to hit its 2025 target, so this order would affect its backlog and schedule (see the delivery push and 235‑jet gap).
Fulfilment risk is non‑trivial: recent supplier shortfalls have already threatened Airbus A350 output, underscoring constraints that could complicate delivery timing for any enlarged Airbus share (supplier shortfalls and A350 impact).
The decision carries strategic regional weight ahead of a major dealmaking moment at the Dubai Airshow expected to draw 148,000 professionals, where OEMs including Boeing are ramping Middle East commercial engagement.
