easyJet

Grounded whilst it ponders on the activities of Luton rival Wizz (see Wizz at Luton in this issue) easyJet has issued a statement in the name of chief executive Johan Lundgren.

Mr Lundgren confirmed that the airline is not selling tickets for any flights before 18 May.  The Easter 2021 programme is on the easyJet website and Summer ’21 schedule will be on sale shortly.

He apologised for delays with processing refunds saying that the sheer volume of flight cancellations means it is taking longer than normal.  For those who choose Flight Vouchers, these can be used for bookings any time in the next 12 months, for flights over the next two years. 

“When it comes to our colleagues, I’m very proud of how the team has stepped up. easyJet staff have been volunteering at hospitals around Europe as part of a wider effort to support front-line clinical staff.  In addition, hundreds of easyJet pilots and cabin crew have been providing peer support in UK hospitals as part of Project Wingman, a volunteering initiative co-founded by easyJet Captain Emma Henderson.  We’ve also donated over 35,000 surplus items from our inflight retail range to charities, including over 1,500 products from our Luton Airport base to support the Help NHS Heroes campaign in the UK”.
