After another vain check to see if anyone else is around on the LSE fastjet forum, I'm disappointed if not entirely surprised to discover no new posts for five months!!!, but there was some comfort to see that a new edition of fastjet's travel magazine Places has been published, dated September/November 2023. Its 48 pages are strongly focused on South Africa with the last few pages devoted to federal Airlines which operates shuttle and charter flights. Before that, pages 40-43 follow the usual style and content familiar to any former "stalwarts" still active! And there is the usual "Welcome Letter" headed "Warm Greetings" on page 4.
However, it's a bleak sign of its status that full page ads are right down at 3, plus one double-page spread for HAC Medical. To the best of my knowledge (ie: recent research) there have been no Annual Report and Financial Statements since 2021 nor the in-flight magazine Places since 2018. Nor before that's predecessor, TravelSmart, whose masthead conspicuously featured its famous African Grrey parrot.
However, it's good to see the company is still surviving but disappointing to see it is no longer voted Africa's Leading Low-Cost Airline at the World Travel Awards since 2021 and voted for the previous 5 consecutive years.
As for the share price, as Basil Fawlty might've said, "Don't mention it!"
Marksman. Its good to know that at least there's two of us stalwarts prepared to still peep over the parapet. All the best.
Oilyguy: Couldn’t agree more. It looks as if Fossiebeer is still around and, more importantly, still contributing to this forum too. So there are still three of us!
There used to be a regular poster, with whom I met up once at one of the company’s AGMs in London, after several months (years?) of mutual communication here, and his username was Ronwin (last post dated 1 January 2021). That rather confirms my suspicion that his infirmity I recall may have worsened. Of course I sincerely hope not, so if you are still a stalwart, Ron, re-engage as soon as you like; you’d be most welcome.
Good evening Marksman.
I am pleased to report that I am still around and in good health. I have just finished a season of bowls and was able to play all matches except one. Doing lots of walking too.
Good to see you are around and I hope you are well too. Can't believe it is so long since I posted. An AWOL Stalwart has returned!
I am so pleased you are still around and willing to post again. You have always been one of my 'closest' stalwarts! A warm welcome back. Any opinions on the chance of the share price ever recovering? It still seems so odd to me when tickets still seem to be flying off the shelves and filling seats that the SP doesn't budge. Keep well.
