Asia Tech Wire (July 23) -- UAE government-owned budget airline flydubai's fleet expansion plans have been hampered by delays in the delivery of Boeing planes, according to Reuters.

The airline said Boeing expects to be unable to deliver 14 737 MAX airplanes scheduled for delivery this year due to revisions to its delivery schedule.

Flydubai has ordered more than 125 737 MAX planes to be delivered over the next decade.

It urged the U.S. manufacturer to meet its delivery obligations and said it was exploring options to reduce the impact.
