The carrier operated at 80% of full-year 2019 capacity in March, with bookings for summer 2022 "tracking ahead of the same period in full-year 2019".
Over the past week, easyJet flew 94% of its planned schedule – around 1,500 daily flights – which is four times higher than at the same point last year.
This, said easyJet in a half-year trading update issued on Tuesday (12 April), was despite a recent increase in cases of Covid-19 among staff and crew – an issue that has caused delays, disruption and cancellations at airports up and down the country.
