I think you'll find that news is to do with an aircraft leasing company (Dubai Aerospace Enterprise) and is not, ostensibly, to do with the business entity 'Dubai Aviation Corporation' (which trades as 'flydubai' ) ... albeit who's to say what goes on at the top in the UAE, wrt to who owns what & whom?!

If you have a look at Dubai Aerospace Enterprise cancels 32 737s you'll see that it states: "Of the 38 aircraft, DAE's 737 order is made up of 34 737-700s and 4 737-800s. Three of the four 737-800s were delivered in 2010."

Given the majority of aircraft type mentioned (-700 series) it would certainly seem unlikely that this would specifically affect flydubai's deliveries (what with flydubai presently being a solely -800 series operation) ?!
