EasyJet

About

easyJet is one of Europe’s leading low-cost airlines, known for making air travel accessible and affordable to millions of passengers. Based in the United Kingdom, the airline operates a vast network of routes to over 150 destinations across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.

With its bright orange branding and no-frills approach, easyJet has become synonymous with budget travel. It appeals to a wide range of passengers, from leisure travellers seeking a quick getaway to business travellers looking for efficiency and convenience.

easyJet is also committed to sustainability, actively working to reduce its carbon footprint through initiatives such as offsetting carbon emissions from its flights and investing in greener technologies.


History

easyJet was founded in 1995 by entrepreneur Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou. The airline began operations with two leased Boeing 737 aircraft flying from Luton Airport to Glasgow and Edinburgh. Its mission was clear: to offer affordable, reliable flights for the masses, disrupting the traditional airline industry with a low-cost model inspired by American carriers like Southwest Airlines.

In 1998, easyJet expanded its operations significantly with the purchase of its first aircraft and launched its website, allowing customers to book flights online—a revolutionary step at the time. This innovation helped cement easyJet as a pioneer in the low-cost airline sector.

Over the years, easyJet has continued to grow, acquiring rival airlines such as Go Fly in 2002 and expanding its fleet with Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft. Today, easyJet is one of the largest airlines in Europe, carrying tens of millions of passengers annually and maintaining a strong focus on innovation and efficiency.
