EasyJet has confirmed it will defer delivery of 24 aircraft from Airbus, with an option to push back or cancel delivery of a further 24 from the manufacturer.
Ten aircraft due during easyJet’s 2020 full-year (to 30 September) have been deferred, along with 12 due during FY21 and a further two on the books for FY22.
Versus the carrier’s previously disclosed fleet plan, it means easyJet will take no aircraft deliveries during FY21 and retains an option to defer a further five deliveries during FY22.
"[The] exact dates of future deliveries of the deferred aircraft are to be agreed in response to the demand environment," said easyJet.
