EasyJet accepts 100th aircraft

Friday, 18 Apr, 2005 0

EasyJet claims to be running the largest low cost airline fleet in Europe after taking delivery of its 100th aircraft.

The Airbus A319 was delivered to the airline’s Berlin base – the 39th to enter service from an order of 120 aircraft by 2007.

A further 20 A319s are due to be added to the fleet in 2005 as the airline strives to increase passenger numbers by up to 20% this financial year. EasyJet also has options on another 120 aircraft from 2007.

The airline – which marks its 10th anniversary in November – carried 2.6 million passengers last month, second only to Lufthansa in Europe, and more than British Airways, Alitalia, Air France or KLM.

Chief operating officer Ed Winter said: “We believe there is still a great deal of potential throughout Europe for low csot services and easyJet intends to be at the forefront of further market expansion.”
