Jazeera Airways released its September 2014 Operational Performance Report today, which shows a 5% increase in total flown passengers from September 2013 and an on-time performance of 96%.

Jazeera Airways issues its Operational Performance Report on both a monthly and annual basis. The Report is based on official figures and statistics from Kuwait’s Directorate General for Civil Aviation (DGCA). On-time performance is reported based on results by independent US-based OTP tracker, FlightStats.

Jazeera Airways saw a 9% increase in flown passengers from September 2013 on routes serving Istanbul, Beirut and Amman. The increase in flown passengers comes during a low-season month when families return from summer holidays into the school season.

Flown passengers also increased on routes serving Egypt, increasing by 18% from September 2013 to the five cities served during the month. The airline increased its market share on the Kuwait-Cairo route by 9% increase from September 2013.

The report also shows that Jazeera Airways continues to hold healthy market shares on the Dubai, Bahrain, Jeddah and Riyadh routes ranging from 8 to 16%.
