EasyJet Winter Loss Widens to £93m as Expansion Costs Bite

Record January bookings point to resilient demand heading into summer.

Overview

  • The airline carried 25.2 million passengers in the quarter, with load factor up two percentage points to 90%.
  • EasyJet holidays grew customers by 20% and generated £50 million pre-tax profit on £311 million of revenue.
  • Management reported the strongest January sales in the company’s history, with summer seats 22% sold and holidays 47% sold.
  • The company expects higher 2026 costs from environmental charges, wages and airport fees, partly offset by operational efficiencies and favourable fuel prices.
  • Talks with Starlink about onboard Wi‑Fi continue but are on hold on cost grounds, and the ASA upheld a complaint over how larger cabin baggage charges were presented.
