Jazeera Airways has released its December 2014 Operational Performance Report, which shows a 10 percent increase in total flown passengers from December 2013, and an on-time performance of 95 percent. The increase in December follows the announced increase in number of passengers in the previous month.

Jazeera Airways issues its Operational Performance Report on both a monthly and yearly basis. The report is based on official figures and statistics from Kuwait’s Directorate General for Civil Aviation (DGCA). The airline’s on-time performance is based on its reporting, in comparison to results by the independent US-based OTP tracker, FlightStats.

Jazeera Airways saw an 18 percent increase in flown passengers from December 2013 on routes serving Istanbul, Beirut and Amman. The increase was driven by an increase in demand on the route serving Amman, and the introduction of winter flights to Istanbul this year. The airline saw a 7 percent increase in flown passengers in November 2014, in comparison to the same month of the previous year.

Flown passengers also increased on routes serving Egypt, increasing by 19 percent from December 2013 despite Jazeera Airways serving five Egyptian cities during the month, compared to six cities in December 2013. The decrease in number of cities served follows the temporary closure of Assiut International Airport for renovations since June 2014.
