"Forward bookings remain strong for both our New York and Dubai service which is further testament to the market endorsement of our product."

Furthermore, official data published by the Civil Aviation Authority this week confirmed that Silverjet is, for the third consecutive month in a row, the top on time performer on the London to New York route and the top performer on the London to Dubai route for the second month in a row.
