Ray Webster, easyJet Chief Executive, said:
"Both our passenger numbers and load factor continue to show steady improvement, reflecting the reliability and sustainability of our low-cost model in a growing and competitive market. Throughout March we took delivery of four Airbus A319 aircraft, bringing out total Airbus fleet to 10. These aircraft are supporting our need for increased capacity and have consistently outperformed our expectations in terms of reliability and passenger popularity."
- Represents the number of earned seats flown. Earned seats include seats that are flown whether or not the passenger turns up because easyJet is a no-refund airline, and once a flight has departed a no-show customer is generally not entitled to change flights or seek a refund. Earned seats also include seats provided for promotional purposes and to staff for business travel.
- Represents the number of passengers as a proportion of the number of seats available for passengers. No weighting of the load factor is carried out to recognise the effect of varying flight (or "stage") lengths.
