Jazeera Airways reported its third consecutive profitable quarter (operating and net) since the introduction of the company's "turn-around plan" in 1Q2011, marking its best ever first quarter performance. The carrier, which was unprofitable in 1Q2009 and 1Q2010, is targetting profitability in every quarter of 2011.
