any news rumors ??
Today no, tomorrow yes and vice versa. Would it be clever? Yes.

Look at all the synergies being pushed through suddenly. From codeshares, terminal moves, schedules and destination alignments to onboard advertisements and PA's. Rapid 738 fleet replacement by 7M8 and 7M9. flydubai this month alone will receive 5 new MAX aircraft with older NG's leaving the fleet.

The problem is IMHO the EK brand dillution and possible harm. The flydubai and EK product offerings are still too different. You need one brand, one product and service level.
