Silverjet plc ("Silverjet"), the British exclusively business class airline,
today announces its passenger and traffic statistics for April 2008.

                                                                 1-30 April 2008

Available seats                                                         15,900
Revenue seats(1)                                                        10,594
Load factor                                                                 67%
On time departures(2)                                                       81%

(1) 'Revenue seats' represents the number of seats generating commercial revenue
and also passengers on non-refundable tickets that have not flown.

(2) 'On time' is defined as departure within 15 minutes of scheduled departure
time.

Lawrence Hunt, Chief Executive of Silverjet, said:

"We are pleased to announce another good set of passenger statistics. Forward
bookings are particularly strong; yields have been growing steadily and averaged
over #600 last week. In light of these statistics, the Board anticipates that
Revenue Seats, Revenue Load Factor and yield will all show further improvement
in May.

"We continue to see a strong trend of repeat bookers. Over 25% of all Silverjet
customers have flown with us before and we now have over 2000 corporates signed
up for our customer loyalty programme, the Silverjet Set. In addition, for the
third month in a row we topped the Civil Aviation Authority leader board for
on-time departure for both our Dubai and New York routes.

"We are delighted to confirm that we have now entered into a subscription
agreement and loan facility with the Viceroy Fund. This investment gives the
Board great confidence in the future development of Silverjet."
