Britain’s biggest budget airline, easyJet, said it made a “record bounce back” in profitability in the summer, making more than £6m a day in profit between July and September. In a trading update, the Luton-based carrier said its summer performance was in line with the same spell in 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic.
Higher fares meant profitability was maintained with 12 per cent fewer passengers than in 2019.
