Re: flyDubai- a new low cost carrier
Yeah, i've read the same. Excluding the costs related starting an airline, $4bn is confirmed to have been spent on aircrafts alone.
"flydubai is the new low cost carrier that was started by the government of Dubai in March of this year. flydubai kicked off the Farnborough Air Show with an historic order for 54 Boeing 737-800/900s worth $4bn US at list prices. This is the biggest order the aircraft manufacturer has ever received from a gulf-based low cost carrier for the 737."
