The carrier made the disclosure in a first-half trading update issued on Thursday morning (16 April) covering business in the six months to the end of March 2026. EasyJet said it expects to report a headline pre-tax loss of between £540 million and £560 million over the winter, despite positive and strong demand for flights and holidays.
"The underlying first‑half result was broadly in line with expectations, with revenue and costs in line, excluding approximately £25 million of additional fuel costs in March due to the Middle East conflict and around a £30 million net increase in legal provisions across a number of historic cases," said easyJet.
