We optimised our network by increasing flight frequencies on existing routes and adding new routes and as they become established they will support our further growth."

EBITDAR was reported at 21.1 percent of annual revenue. Closing cash and cash equivalents position, including pre-delivery payments for future aircraft deliveries, is AED2.1 billion compared to AED2.4 billion last year.
