flydubai Moves to Digitise Aircraft Turnarounds With ZestIoT Platform
flydubai has selected ZestIoT to digitise aircraft turnaround operations at Dubai International Airport (DXB) and across its network, as the Dubai-based carrier continues to expand its operations.
The airline will deploy ZestIoT’s Turnaround Management Platform to provide real-time visibility into ground operations and support data- and AI-driven decision-making. The system is designed to improve coordination during aircraft turnarounds, strengthen operational predictability and support on-time departures.
Mohamed Hassan, Senior Vice President of Airport Services and Cargo at flydubai, said the adoption of digital tools is aimed at maintaining efficiency as the airline grows its network and flight schedule.
flydubai currently serves more than 135 destinations in 58 countries with a fleet of 97 Boeing 737 aircraft. At DXB, the airline operates an average of 370 flights a day, making it one of the airport’s major operators.
ZestIoT said the partnership reflects a broader shift toward real-time, prediction-based management of daily airline operations. The company will support flydubai with a platform that integrates multiple data sources to improve coordination among operational teams.
The collaboration is intended to enhance turnaround performance while supporting flydubai’s wider operational and passenger service objectives.
