EasyJet chief executive Johan Lundgren said the tour operation currently took up only a fraction of the airline’s capacity and had plenty of room to expand.
“It is 4% on where we stand today, so there is no constraint on growth,” he said.
Flexibility gave it a unique advantage, he added. “EasyJet Holidays is doing exceptionally well. It’s built on the easyJet network which is the largest of any airline to beach and holiday destinations.
"The majority (of customers) come in via the easyJet site, so we are taking share from traditional operators, but ours is not a traditional tour operator model because it is based on the flexibility of the schedule.”
