Food it would usually sell onboard has been collected and made into care packages for homeless charities in areas the airline has bases and for the Help NHS Heroes campaign, which sees pop-up supermarkets erected at hospitals across the country.

Donated items, including 1,500 from Luton airport, include crisps, biscuits, orange juice, muffins and chocolate brownies.

"We have many items from our inflight retail range held across our UK bases which won’t be sold and so donating where we can to local causes enables us to support our NHS heroes at this critical time," said Andrew Middleton, commercial director for easyJet.
