Jazeera Airways passenger traffic up 7% in May

Kuwaiti airline Jazeera Airways carried 7% more passengers during May, compared to the same month last year. The increase was led by significant passenger pick-up on routes serving Dubai, Beirut, Amman, Jeddah, Cairo, Sharm El Sheikh, Assiut and Sohag. The airline also continued to lead in on-time performance against other airlines in the Middle East during the month with a performance of 96%, says FlightStats.
