Dart Group PLC announced that in view of the continued strong demand for the Leisure Travel package holiday and flight-only products, the Board is optimistic that group performance for the financial year ending 31 March 2016 will materially exceed current market expectations.

The company's board also announced that, in order to meet the future anticipated growth of its Leisure Travel business and for planned fleet replacement, the company has entered into an agreement with Boeing to purchase 27 new Boeing 737-800NG aircraft. These aircraft will be delivered between September 2016 and April 2018.
