Budget airline easyJet says it carried 17.5 million passengers in the final three months of 2022. That increased by 47% from the same time in 2021 when it carried just 11.9 million travellers.
EasyJet also cheered a bounce-back in traditional new year holiday bookings, with three record-breaking weekends for sales revenue in January so far. It comes as the company hiked its full-year profit outlook.
It says it trimmed losses in its first quarter and cheering a record surge in bookings since the start of the year. The airline said its headline pre-tax loss narrowed to £133 million in the three months to the end of December, against losses of £213 million a year earlier.
