EasyJet fills 'five planes every minute' as Brits rush to book summer holidays

EasyJet bookings for summer holidays hit a new high this month despite the cost of living gloom.

The budget airline said 2023 had got off to a flying start, with three record weekends for sales revenue.

Boss Johan Lundgren added: “Many returned to make bookings during the traditional turn-of-year sale where we filled five aircraft every minute in the peak hours.”
