EasyJet will extend connections to long-haul flights across half its network this year as it reaches the 90 million-passenger milestone.

In a trading statement, chief executive Johan Lundgren said Worldwide by easyJet, which offers connections to long-haul flights such as those operated by Norwegian, would cover “around half” of easyJet’s network this year. Passenger numbers would leap from 80 million to 90 million, he said, following the acquisition of Air Berlin’s operation at Berlin Tegel airport, while the easyJet fleet was set to reach 300 aircraft by the spring.
