Out of the 13,800 available seats in the short month of February (only 29 days), 64% of those seats were filled on average in each flight - up almost 10% compared to the previous month.

The airline also fulfilled the third consecutive month of being the most punctual airline on both the London to New York and London to Dubai routes.

Over 87% of all flights departed within 15 minutes of the scheduled departure time - being other big airlines including British Airways and American Airlines. The London to New York route has the lowest delay of just over 8 1/2 minutes.

Lawrence Hunt, Chief Executive of Silverjet said [quote] "We are delighted to announce another record month of passenger statistics, with our load factor up 10% from January. This is particularly encouraging given the shorter month and February half-term. "

The airline's Dubai route is also seeing a great deal of interest with lots of advance bookings on the route which started in late 2007.

Passengers travelling with Silverjet are able to use a Private Terminal to check-in at the airports it flies from - allowing a 30 minute check-in.

Passengers at New York's Newark Airport can now use the priority security lane at the airport to speed up the boarding process.

In a report published today (3rd March), Silverjet's unmatched flight prices were illustrated when comparing flights from London to New York - departing 3rd March, returning 7th March:

Silverjet - £999

American Airlines = £1599

Delta Airlines - £1717

Continental - £2017

Virgin Atlantic - £3162

British Airways - £3581

The airline also recently introduced a much-improved valet parking service where passengers can have their car cleaned, washed, hoovered and valeted while they are away.
