Our focus on investing in operations and improving the customer experience, delivering the warmest welcome in the travel sector, has led to improved punctuality, increased customer satisfaction and cost efficiencies this year.
Having recently celebrated our 30th anniversary, I am proud of what easyJet has achieved. Very few airlines stay as close to their roots as easyJet – making travel easy and affordable while making a significant contribution to economic growth through increased connectivity, consumer choice and jobs.
We are well placed to seize the significant opportunities ahead, and we are confident that we will achieve our medium-term target of achieving pre-tax profits (PBT) of over £1 billion.”
