EasyJet plc (styled as easyJet) is a British multinational low-cost airline group headquartered at London Luton Airport.[3] It operates domestic and international scheduled services on 927 routes in more than 34 countries via its affiliate airlines EasyJet UK, EasyJet Switzerland, and EasyJet Europe.[4] The company employs circa 13,000 people, based throughout Europe but mainly in the UK.[5] EasyJet plc is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index.
Since its establishment in 1995, EasyJet has expanded through a combination of acquisitions,[6][7] and base openings fuelled by consumer demand for low-cost air travel. The group, along with associate companies EasyJet UK, EasyJet Europe and EasyJet Switzerland, operates 321 aircraft. It has 29 bases across Europe, the largest being Gatwick.[8] In 2022, the airline carried more than 69.7 million passengers,[9] making it the second-largest budget airline in Europe by number of passengers carried, behind Ryanair.[10]
EasyJet was featured in the television series Airline, broadcast on ITV (1998–2007), which followed the airline's operations in London Luton and later at other bases. Its pilot training scheme was the subject of another ITV television series, easyJet: Inside the Cockpit, which premiered in August 2017.[11]
