EasyJet flying high as passenger numbers grow
EasyJet continues to show steady growth, as passengers opting to fly with the low-cost airline continued to increase through January. The FTSE-100 company saw passenger numbers rise by 3.7 per cent compared to the same time last year, reaching a total of 4m.
This marks further improvement for the company which posted positive numbers for the previous month. In December, EasyJet enjoyed rising passenger numbers of 3.5 per cent on the same period last year.
Part of the company's growing popularity is attributable to the success of its new system of seating allocation. EasyJet passengers now have the option to pay to choose their seats or have them allocated automatically, free of charge.
