                     APPOINTMENT OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR


easyJet plc announced today that Sven Boinet (54) has been appointed to the
board as a non-executive director with effect from 1 March 2008.


Sven, a French national, is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Group
Lucien Barriere, the €1.2 billion turnover company created from the merger of
the gaming activities of Accor and Lucien Barriere. Previously he held a number
of senior management roles over a 15-year period at the French hotels group,
Accor. Sven was also a non-executive director of Lastminute.com from 2003 until
its sale to Sabre in 2005.


Sir Colin Chandler, Chairman of easyJet plc, said:


'As easyJet expands ever more into continental Europe, it is vital to have a
Board that reflects the Company's ambitions. This year we will open bases at
Paris Charles de Gaulle and Lyons, so having someone of Sven's experience of the
French business environment will be invaluable and I am delighted to have
attracted a non-executive director of his calibre.'


Sven has also accepted an invitation to join the Audit Committee of the Company.
There are no further disclosures required under rule 9.6.13 of the Listing
Rules.
