The Air Operator Certificate (AOC) comes following a “rigorous and comprehensive year-long process” and will enable easyJet to continue to operate flights both across Europe and domestically within European countries after the UK has left the EU, regardless of the outcome of UK-EU aviation agreement talks.
The new structure – which will see easyJet Europe headquartered in Vienna – “means that easyJet will become a pan European airline group”, with three airlines based in the UK, Switzerland and Austria.
All of these will be owned by easyJet plc which itself will be EU owned and controlled, listed on the London Stock Exchange and based in the UK.
