Commenting on the April statistics Ed Winter, CEO said "Fastjet continues to grow in popularity with Tanzanian travellers and is now the dominant carrier on both key routes from Dar-es-Salaam to Kilimanjaro and to Mwanza. Operational performance, a key differentiator in the African market, remains excellent with an April achievement of 96 % of flights arriving within 15 minutes of schedule and a cancellation rate of less than 1%."
