The operator recorded a £50 million pre-tax profit during the first quarter of easyJet's 2025/26 financial year (three months to 31 December 2025), up from £43 million a year earlier, which helped offset a deeper first-quarter loss for its airline parent.
In a trading update issued on Thursday (29 January), easyJet confirmed a headline pre-tax loss of £93 million during Q1 – some £32 million higher than during the same period last year, which the airline put down to strategic investments at its new Milan Linate and Rome Fiumicino bases.
