easyJet Flying High on the Global Stage

While securing the title of the #1 Low-Cost Airline in the UK is a major achievement, easyJet's recognition did not stop at the border. In a highly competitive year, the airline also secured a spot as the 6th Best Low-Cost Airline in Europe, and broke into the Top 10 Low-Cost Airlines Worldwide.

Why UK Travellers Voted easyJet Number One

Winning a Skytrax award is about more than just offering cheap flights; it is about the entire customer journey. Here is why millions of passengers helped easyJet secure the top spot for 2025:

  • Unbeatable Value: easyJet operates on the principle that travel should be accessible to everyone. The airline's flexible fare bundles give passengers the power to pay only for what they need—whether that is just an under-seat cabin bag for a quick trip, or added hold luggage and Extra Legroom seats for a longer holiday.

  • Seamless Digital Experience: From its industry-leading mobile app to automated bag drops, easyJet is constantly investing in technology to make the journey through the airport as smooth and frictionless as possible.

  • Friendly, Reliable Crews: Behind every award-winning flight is an award-winning team. easyJet's cabin crews and pilots are dedicated to making sure passengers' time in the air is safe, comfortable, and welcoming.

Award-Winning Flights from Local UK Airports

A great trip starts close to home, which is why easyJet connects communities across the country to over 100 top destinations in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.

Whether flying out of major hubs like London Gatwick and London Luton (which was also recently named the UK's Best Low-Cost Airline Terminal), or departing from key regional bases like Manchester, Bristol, Edinburgh, or Belfast, easyJet brings award-winning travel right to local doorsteps.

The airline has expressed a massive thank you to every single passenger who voted in the 2025 Skytrax World Airline Awards.
