FastJet Passenger Statistics for December 2012

Commenting on the December statistics Ed Winter, CEO said "To have achieved a 78.9% Load Factor and carry almost 30,000 passengers is a fantastic result for the first month of fastjet operations and clearly demonstrates the latent demand for low cost reliable air travel in Africa. Press concerns over infrastructure have proved unfounded with no scheduled fastjet flights cancelled and 99.6 % arriving within 15 minutes of schedule. "
