Operating profits in the year to the end of March were £17 million, up from £4.2 million last year. Turnover was up 46% to £233.7 million and passenger numbers increased by 55% to 4.27 million.
Go experienced a 20% drop in passenger numbers immediately after September 11, but bookings recovered steadily afterwards.

She added: “I am proud of everyone at Go for building such a successful business.”
