In a trading update the airline said it would deliver a strong performance in the fourth quarter “with robust customer demand driving outperformance in both our passenger and ancillary revenue growth, and strong profitability”.
EasyJet admitted disruption across Europe – European industrial action and air traffic restrictions – continued to be “an industry wide issue” and was having an impact on revenue, cost and operational performance.
The airline added it had seen improved performance at Berlin Tegel, reducing the expected headline loss to around £115 million, along with further savings in integration costs.
