Ray Webster, easyJet Chief Executive, said:
'September passenger growth was in line with expectations. On top of double
digit volume growth, unit revenue (total revenue per seat flown) for the full
year has increased by 2.1% vs. last year. We re-iterate our guidance from
August: that we expect reported pre-tax profit for the year ended September 2005
to be broadly in line with last year.
'During the month we announced four new routes from our newest continental
European base - Basel - to Paris (Charles de Gaulle), Amsterdam, Lisbon and
Prague. We have expanded our Berlin base with the launch of two new routes, to
Rome and Milan (Malpensa). At the same time, we have continued to grow our UK
product, with the announcement of one new route from Newcastle to Faro and the
launch of two new routes from London Gatwick to Berlin and Murcia.'

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
