Flydubai is in “regular contact” with Boeing regarding the possibility of inspections of its Boeing 737 NG aircraft after the manufacturer discovered a problem on planes undergoing modifications.
On Wednesday, the US Federal Aviation Administration announced that it ordered inspections of some aircraft, with the mandating affecting 1,911 US-registered aircraft.
The NG is the precursor to the Boeing 737 Max, which has been grounded since March following two fatal incidents.
In a statement sent to Arabian Business, a Flydubai spokesperson said that the airline is “in regular contact with Boeing”.
“If required, any inspections of our Next-Generation Boeing 737-800 aircraft will be conducted in line with the Multi Operator Message (MOM),” the spokesperson added.
The FAA said Boeing notified the administration of the issue after discovering it on a plane in China and subsequent inspections.
The inspections can be completed visually in approximately one hour.
Boeing could not be immediately reached for comment.
