Ray Webster, easyJet Chief Executive, said:

'October was a good month for air travellers in both Italy and the UK. Firstly,
easyJet announced that some one million passengers a year will benefit from it's
low fares to the most convenient airports when it opens its next operational
base, at Milan Malpensa, in March 2006. This came only a few days after easyJet
announced a rescue package for the thousands of passengers stranded by yet
another strike at Alitalia.

'Secondly, easyJet welcomed the UK Government's rejection of a £250 million raid
on air travellers. The UK Civil Aviation Authority had proposed a flat-rate tax
on passengers to build a fund for passengers in the event of a tour operator or
airline failure - but this would have represented nothing more than a subsidy
from the financially-healthy to the financially weak and from short-haul
low-cost airlines to long-haul high-cost airlines.

'We will provide an outlook for the current financial year which began on 1
October at the announcement of our preliminary results for the financial year
ended September 2005, to be held on 22 November 2005.'

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.



3. Represents unaudited statutory revenue, which includes the invoiced value of
airline and ancillary services, net of passenger tax
