Courts made the comments during a visit to Luton airport this week where he checked in on easyJet "to see what they’re doing to make sure their staffing and schedules are ready for the summer".


His visit follows assurances from easyJet earlier this week it planned to operate 95% of its fourth-quarter schedule (three months to 30 September).
