The summer holiday season could be “exceptionally strong” due to an “enormous amount of pent-up demand”, according to easyJet boss Johan Lundgren.

The low-cost carrier’s chief executive said the key factor would be the industry working with the government to manage the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions in a “safe way” during the coming months.

Lundgren was speaking alongside the chief executives of four other UK-based carriers during an Airlines UK presentation designed to encourage the government to include the resumption of international travel within next week’s “road map” out of the pandemic crisis.

He said that going on an overseas holiday was “top of mind” for UK consumers this summer.
