Silverjet Dubai flights 'proving popular'

Business class flights to Dubai launched by Silverjet last year continued to perform strongly last month, the airline has said.

Releasing its traffic figures for February, the premium carrier said its Dubai flights saw high levels of advance bookings during the month, as did its services to New York.

The airline saw an increase in load factor to 64 per cent and said it was recently named the most punctual carrier on the London to New York and London to Dubai routes by the Civil Aviation Authority.

"Silverjet, for the third consecutive month in a row, is the top on-time performer on the London to New York route and the top performer on London to Dubai for the second month in a row, which is extremely gratifying after only two months of operation," commented Silverjet chief executive Lawrence Hunt.

The airline recently announced the introduction of its revamped valet parking service, which allows passengers to have their cars washed, hoovered and deodorised while they are away.
