About
easyJet is Europe's second-largest low-cost carrier and the largest airline based in the United Kingdom. Headquartered at London Luton Airport, easyJet operates a fleet of approximately 358 Airbus A320 family aircraft serving over 160 destinations across 39 countries throughout Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
Founded in 1995, easyJet pioneered low-cost travel in Europe alongside Ryanair. The airline operates over 1,000 flights daily across more than 1,200 routes, carrying approximately 100 million passengers annually. Unlike some ultra-low-cost carriers, easyJet positions itself as a hybrid between budget and traditional airlines, offering allocated seating and a more relaxed baggage enforcement approach historically - though policies have become stricter in recent years.
easyJet is not a member of any airline alliance but offers connections through its "Worldwide by easyJet" partnership program with airlines including Cathay Pacific, Emirates, Loganair, and others.
