• Organic growth - Increasing frequency on existing routes - Linking current domestic destinations e.g. Mwanza - Kilimanjaro - Operating to new domestic destinations as the airfields are upgraded to take A319 aircraft - Adding new international destinations - including Lilongwe, Nairobi, Mombasa, Lubumbashi - Competitors in Tanzania increasingly focusing on smaller routes - The existing aviation infrastructure supports planned growth to breakeven and beyond

• Operating flights from Entebbe, Uganda - Uganda CAA lost its regulatory approval after failing ICAO audits - Air Uganda and other Uganda regulated airlines have been shut down - There is a lack of air capacity

• Growing the Tanzanian fleet - The fleet plan is 8 aircraft by 2018 (excluding Uganda operations) - Potential over time is far greater

Plan to build out the Tanzanian base

Opportunities to develop beyond Tanzania

• Key opportunities identified across the region - Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa are major growth opportunities

- These are English speaking countries with strong historic links dating from their British heritage

- Their geographical proximity enables significant synergy opportunities including aircraft, maintenance and crew

- Total population is approx. 210m, with currently fewer than 0.1 regional air seats per head of population per annum

- No reported cases of Ebola in the countries in which we plan to operate (source: WHO 5 November 2014) – we are closer to Monrovia when in London than in Dar es Salaam (5,099km vs 5,693kms)

• Potential for fastjet growth - By 2018, fastjet expects to carry up to 10 million passengers per annum

- Representing only a 13% market share of estimated pan African passengers in these markets

• Create fastjet brand airlines across all key countries in Africa - Expand rapidly to gain first mover advantage - One airline to the consumer - consistent delivery of safety, reliability, service, brand and quality - Integrated network and revenue management to maximise value - Local management of each fastjet airline

• Centralised functions will provide economies of scale and knowledge share - Internal services will be designed to deliver synergy benefits across the countries - Overall fleet structure will be designed to optimise fastjet Group aircraft utilisation - A Group approach to contracts and service providers will allow efficiencies and reduce fixed costs - A centre of expertise will develop and support fastjet airlines across the region - Centralised services to be geographically located for optimum costs and performance

Foundations in place – poised to seize the opportunity of pan African expansion

• The Plan

- Creating a pan African Low Cost Airline network

- Business model to overcome regulatory restrictions

- One airline to the customer with network wide consistent brand delivery

- Positioned to gain first mover advantage

- Using a fleet of Airbus 319s we differentiate against the competition with reliability and safety

• Progress

- Tanzanian operation profitable in the month of December 2014

- Low Cost Airline model successfully implemented in Tanzania operating three aircraft

- Dominating the Tanzanian domestic market on our routes

- Breaking down regional regulatory resistance – four international routes already operational

- Brand, reputation, communication and distribution channels successfully established

- Legacy Fly540 restructuring well advanced

• The Opportunity

- Further developing Tanzania by increasing frequency and adding new routes by managing through the regulatory issues

- Expansion beyond Tanzania, initially in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Uganda, and South Africa

- Potential to reach a fleet of 34 aircraft by 2018

- Investment to take the company through expansion and create significant value
