Case Study: Flydubai achieves rapid, scalable service launches (hours instead of weeks) with Amazon Web Services

Flydubai- Customer Case Study

flydubai, the Dubai-based airline launched in 2009 with a rapidly expanding network of more than 90 destinations, needed to modernize its IT to improve the traveler experience. To roll out an online check-in platform in time for a busy summer season, the airline required a highly available, rapidly scalable infrastructure that matched its business agility, handled seasonal demand without paying for unused capacity, and could be delivered within a tight deadline.

The airline moved the project to AWS, using EC2 with Elastic Load Balancing, EBS, S3, AWS Direct Connect and software from the AWS Marketplace, and launched the check-in platform in four months. The migration cut lead times for new infrastructure from weeks to hours, supported thousands of daily users, enabled seamless scaling for peak periods, reduced costs via pay-as-you-go and lower bandwidth bills, and unlocked faster experimentation and further cloud migrations.
