EasyJet shifting UK capacity to European network

The airline has confirmed over the past week, it added an extra 150,000 seats to its intra-European network. This includes relocating UK-Palma capacity to Berlin-Palma, among other changes.

Following Monday’s announcement (14 June) that the UK’s domestic unlock has been pushed back to 19 July, with no further information on the resumption of international leisure travel, easyJet said it had been forced to "evaluate" its schedule.

Last week brought optimism but it will take more than positive thinking to help the industry bounce back
