UAE-based low-cost airline Flydubai plans to retrofit 21 of the airline’s 737 MAX aircraft with larger Boeing Space Bins.

Each Space Bin can accommodate up to six standard-sized bags, an increase from four bags per bin representing a 33% increase in hand luggage capacity.

The announcement was made at the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) in Hamburg, Germany.

“Since commencing operations in 2009, we have remained dedicated to investing in product innovation and elevating our passengers’ inflight experience,” said Daniel Kerrison, Senior Vice President of Inflight Operations at Flydubai.

“Having Boeing’s larger Space Bins on our 737 MAX aircraft will provide our passengers with added convenience and increased storage space that rivals the experience offered on a wide-body aircraft."

Doug Backhus, Vice President of Cabin, Modifications and Maintenance at Boeing, added: “Passengers are making the connection between bin capacity and the extra room they need and expect for their carry-on bags, and we're proud to partner with Flydubai to bring Space Bins capability to their existing 737 MAX fleet.”
