Jazeera Airways, the fastest growing airline in the Middle East, (KSE: Jazeera, Bloomberg: Jazeera KK, Reuters: JAZK.KW) is the 10th largest carrier operating from Dubai International Airport, according to the latest passenger figures released by DNATA.
After just four years in operation, the airline exceeded the total number of Guests carried from Dubai by a number of both regional and international low fare and legacy airlines, to secure the number 10 spot for the October 2009 period.
In addition to its position as the 10th largest carrier from Dubai International Airport - which recorded passenger numbers of more than three million for October alone - the airline has secured significant year-on-year growth, with a 34% increase in total Guests uplifted from Dubai since October 2008.
The success of the airline in securing its number 10 position and significantly growing its total number of Guests come despite limited traffic rights faced by the airline throughout the summer.
Stefan Pichler, Jazeera Airways CEO commented:
"We are thrilled by these figures and the success that we have been able to achieve over the past year despite a number of restrictions, and we are looking forward to expanding our operations even further next year with the opening of the Al Maktoum Airport in Jebel Ali, in June 2010 and we hope that the current restrictions can be overcome."
The airline is poised for future growth plans to grow its network of regional destinations throughout the coming years.
Jazeera Airways currently operates a fleet of 10 new Airbus A320s. Each aircraft is fitted with the airline's signature leather seating, while the Jazeera Business Class cabin offers business travellers a little extra convenience including easy booking, special check-in counters, 40 kgs baggage allowance, access to airport lounges and exclusive in-flight service and entertainment. The airline flies to destinations in the Middle East, North Africa, Iran, and the Indian subcontinent.
