fastjet Passenger Statistics for July 2014

fastjet plc is pleased to announce its passenger statistics for the month of July 2014.

fastjet operations in Tanzania carried a total of 52,839 passengers and achieved a load factor of 73%. Compared with the same month last year, the number of passengers carried has increased by 69%.

Month on month, capacity has risen by 8% with 72,355 seats flown in July compared to 67,425 in June. Revenue per passenger was very strong with a 22% increase month on month.

Punctuality for the month remained excellent, with 94% of flights arriving on time Note 3 , despite the extra flights.

Ed Winter, Interim Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of fastjet plc, said:

"I am delighted to see our capacity continue to rise as we maximise the utilisation of resources, particularly aircraft. This month's 8% increase follows the 12% increase in capacity announced last month and the 11% increase announced in May. This is in line with our plans to almost double utilisation between Q1 and Q3. August will see a further uplift in capacity with the introduction of flights to Harare in Zimbabwe, which have already moved from two to three flights per week following strong demand, and further additional frequencies on domestic routes.

I am particularly pleased that we have achieved such a high load factor and made significant unit revenue gains despite the fact that all but four days in the month fell within Ramadan, when both business and leisure activities decrease considerably. "
