easyJet has officially been crowned the Best Short-Haul Carrier in Europe at this year's prestigious Business Traveller Awards. A highly respected fixture of the business travel and hospitality calendar, the awards are judged by the readers of Business Traveller magazine, with over 95,000 votes cast by passengers across the globe.

A Two-Decade Legacy in European Business Travel

While securing the title of Europe's Best Short-Haul Carrier is a major achievement, holding it for two decades is a testament to easyJet's enduring appeal to business passengers. This latest accolade comes just as the airline prepares to celebrate its 30th anniversary, proving that easyJet continues to lead the way in European aviation. This year's global and regional winners were determined by a combination of public input and insights from a panel of 20 top industry judges, making the win even more significant.

Why Business Travellers Voted easyJet Number One

Winning a Business Traveller award is about more than just offering cost-effective flights; it is about delivering a seamless, reliable business travel experience. Here is why business passengers helped easyJet secure the top spot for the 20th year running:

  • Unrivalled Network and Convenience: easyJet operates on the principle that business travel should be efficient and accessible. The airline boasts a varied slot portfolio and connects passengers directly to Europe’s primary airports, providing the convenient schedules that corporate travellers need.

  • Tailored Business Solutions: With the recent launch of easyJet Plus for Business, companies can now easily buy, manage, and receive discounts on multiple memberships for their employees, unlocking a range of special travel benefits like fast-track security and priority boarding.

  • Industry-Leading Sustainability: easyJet is serious about its commitment to achieving more sustainable aviation. The airline recently won the Aviation Sustainability & Environment Award for its innovative lightweight paint rollout, building on its previous win for Achievement in Sustainability at the Business Travel Sustainability Awards.

  • Award-Winning Innovation and People: Behind every award-winning flight is an award-winning team. easyJet also recently scooped the Aviation Innovation Award and the Women in Aviation Award, recognizing easyJet pilot Debbie Thomas for her dual role in the cockpit and in corporate sustainability.

Award-Winning Flights to Europe's Primary Hubs

A successful business trip starts close to home, which is why easyJet connects professionals from airports right across the UK directly to major business hubs and cities throughout Europe.

Having carried over 12.1 million business passengers over the last 12 months, easyJet's industry-leading punctuality ensures that teams arrive ready to work. Whether flying out of major UK bases or regional airports, easyJet brings award-winning corporate travel right to local doorsteps.
