Lundgren, who will have been chief executive for seven years by the time he steps down, congratulated Jarvis for “being nominated my successor”.


Jarvis joined easyJet in 2021 as a board member and chief financial officer. He will continue in his current role until early 2025 and the search for his replacement will begin shortly, easyJet said. 


Lundgren said: “I congratulate Kenton on being nominated my successor, it is fully deserved, and I will work closely with him and the whole executive team to achieve this year’s goals and hand over responsibilities smoothly at the end of the year.
