The low-cost carrier reported group revenue for the summer quarter had increased to £3.1 billion on Thursday (12 October) – up 24% on last year – while its earnings before interest and tax had grown to £665 million.
EasyJet is also poised to achieve a half-year profit before tax of between £850 million and £870 million, it said.
This, the company said, has been prompted by passenger numbers increasing by 9% to 28.6 million, as well as a 9% surge in ticket yield – the profit generated on each and every ticket.
