EasyJet is gearing up for its busiest ever Easter period, with customers set to travel on almost 30,000 flights.

Across this first Easter travel weekend alone customers will take to the skies on over 5,000 easyJet flights.
From the UK, the airline is set to operate up to 16,000 flights during the Easter period, flying customers to destinations for spring sunshine as well as to European city break hotspots.
While Easter traditionally marks the end of the ski season, some higher‑altitude resorts remain open into April.
For sun‑seekers, the Canary Islands, including Tenerife and Lanzarote, remain among the most popular choices, along with Spanish mainland favourites Alicante and Malaga.
EasyJet holidays is also set for its biggest Easter on record, welcoming over a quarter more customers than last year’s Easter weekend.
Hundreds of thousands of holidaymakers are expected to jet off over the two-week break, with the most popular package holiday destinations including Spain, Portugal, the Canary Islands, and Paris city breaks.
Kevin Doyle, easyJet’s UK Country Manager, said: “Every Easter we see more customers choosing easyJet and this year we’re set to fly more than 30,000 flights across Europe to over 140 destinations.”
