“To carry 50 million passengers each year is a great achievement and is testament to the great service our people deliver on-board.”

“easyJet has a strong position delivering low-fares, flying people to where they want to go to, at convenient times with friendly service.”

“We aim to provide an easier travel experience for all our passengers, and look forward to our continued growth over the coming years.”

“The airline began operating in 1995 with two aircraft operating two routes and carrying 424,000 passengers in its first year. It now has a fleet of 196 aircraft flying 552 routes across 30 countries.”
