EasyJet boss Johan Lundgren has said the carrier is heading into Easter – and the period beyond – with renewed positivity as daily booking volumes for the summer track ahead of 2019 levels.

The Bilbao-bound aircraft left Manchester after 2.30pm on Sunday (7 August) but had to divert back following the incident as a precaution

The carrier said on Tuesday (12 April) an ongoing focus on costs, including a firm grip on its network and strong sales of ancillary products, would result in easyJet trimming its half-year pre-tax loss to somewhere in the region of £535 million to £565 million.


The end of the UK’s core Covid travel restrictions in January prompted a "strong and sustained recovery in trading", said easyJet in a half-year trading update (six months to 31 March) on Tuesday (12 April).
