Absolutely terrific news, following on from last year’s similar accolade in the WTA. Btw, you can still add your vote to this year’s WTA; you’ll need an email address and a password. Some of us helped fastjet to win last year by doing so!! https://www.worldtravelawards.com/nominees/2017/africa
It's incredible taking into account all the instability of yesteryear, testament that despite all of what fastjet customers endured,they still love our Airline,a fantastic morale booster for all the staff particularly the frontline staff Well done team fastjet.
Well done Fastjet,great news and proves we are still alive and kicking. Lets hope the first 6 months results also show we are on the right track with reduced losses and we still have enough cash in the Bank to move forward
JT16 as you have flown with them several times, may I ask is Fjet you're preferred carrier? I take it you have not used the competition as you state you can only guess how atrocious the competition must be.
It's interesting. I have lived and worked in 16 African countries, all in aviation employment. My wife is a millennial, black African, but a UK university graduate (both BSc and MSc but accounting and finance - nothing to do with my line of work) and has only lived in 2 African countries. We both think that within Europe, EasyJet is a good business model for an LCC and from my professional side I rate them and KLM as having some of the highest safety standards worldwide. However, when it comes to African LCCs it's a different story and within Tanzania, FastJet has plenty of (non LCC) competition which I would rate as being equal or better for internal flights, based purely on my own experiences for flights between Dar and Zanzibar, Arusha and Mwanza. These include Coastal, ATCL and Precision. For internatioinal local flights between Dar and NBO, despite their somewhat spotty record, FJ could never compete with KQ. Casting my 'safety' eye over them, FJ is up there with the best (though I personally have never audited any of them and think I am probably rather relieved (but also slightly concerned) that this is so. The trouble with surveys like this is that they rely on the consumer experience only. For me, I am concerned about 3 things only - standards of the people in the pointy bit in fron of the self-loading freight (you and I), standards of the engineers who make sure all the rotating and vibrating bits are safe, and if the the quality and safety safety standards are fit for purpose.
