fastjet Passenger Statistics for January 2013

Commenting on the January statistics fastjet CEO, Ed Winter said:

 "This is a great performance for just our second month of operations particularly given the seasonal lack of activity following Christmas, which, as expected extended into the month before business activity returned to normal.

"Punctuality for the month was again excellent at 99.7 % with no cancellations. Load factors and forward bookings for February are well ahead of expectations. Having established our reputation for total reliability on Tanzanian domestic routes, we will soon be looking to offer flights to international destinations such as Johannesburg and Entebbe."
