Jazeera Airways Group Chairman Marwan Boodai said "This quarter's results
are the direct outcome of the initiatives we've put in place since the
beginning of the year, starting with the 100% acquisition of Sahaab Aircraft
Leasing in February and the introduction of the Turn-Around Plan (TAP) in
May.

"TAP was a plan to reduce our costs, to optimize our network, and to
ensure we operate just the right fleet size for our market given the
overcapacity we've seen dumped in our market over the last year and beginning
of this year. The acquisition of Sahaab perfectly complemented this plan by
providing us a vehicle to place excess aircraft on long-term leases with
world-class carriers. This successfully introduced a new revenue stream for
the company. Together, these initiatives successfully put the airline back on
the road to profitability, as today we operate a profitable airline business
and a profitable aircraft leasing business. The fact that Jazeera Airways
Group owns its entire fleet made this possible."

Boodai added: "Today, we are operating the right fleet size on profitable
routes, our commitment to our passengers is to provide them the best value
fares at the highest operational standards on all routes we operate and our
commitment to our employees and shareholders is to work towards achieving
consistent profitability before growth."

With the introduction of TAP, Sahaab accessed global leasing markets and
placed four Airbus A320s on long term lease with Virgin America, while
Jazeera Airways has been capturing a leading market share month on month on
all of the routes it operates, with the exception of its destinations to
Saudi Arabia where it is restricted to a lower seat capacity compared other
airlines.
