Ray Webster, easyJet Chief Executive, said:



'Both our passenger numbers and load factor continue to show steady improvement,
reflecting the reliability and sustainability of our low-cost model in a growing
and competitive market. Throughout March we took delivery of 4 Airbus A319
aircraft, bringing out total Airbus fleet to 10. These aircraft are supporting
our need for increased capacity and have consistently outperformed our
expectations in terms of reliability and passenger popularity.'





(1).   Represents the number of earned seats flown. Earned seats include seats
that are flown whether or not the passenger turns up because easyJet is a
no-refund airline, and once a flight has departed a no-show customer is
generally not entitled to change flights or seek a refund. Earned seats also
include seats provided for promotional purposes and to staff for business
travel.

(2).   Represents the number of passengers as a proportion of the number of
seats available for passengers. No weighting of the load factor is carried out
to recognise the effect of varying flight (or 'stage') lengths.
