With the landing of the first flight from Milan Malpensa early this morning, we are thrilled to celebrate not only the start of easyJet's operations at Salerno - Costa d'Amalfi airport, but also the inauguration of the airport, which is open to travellers for the first time.   Our Airbus A320 NEO was welcomed by the Governor of Campania Region Vincenzo De Luca signifying the importance of this opening for the Region.   Tomorrow will also see the start of easyJet connections to Basel, Geneva and Berlin, while on 13 July the much-awaited inaugural flight from London Gatwick will take off, with a total of around 50,000 seats on sale for the Summer.   With the launch of operations to Salerno this summer, easyJet will make almost 3 million seats available to fly to and from Campania, an unprecedented offer confirming our commitment to the region.   We look forward to welcoming you on board!

This week we held our first Menopause at Work Day with the incredible Over The Bloody Moon team led by Lesley Salem and Leila Carter The session, focussing on menopause education and allyship, saw an amazing turnout of 230 colleagues joining us both virtually and in person. Menopause affects everyone, not just those who experience it directly. At some point, all of us will encounter its impact, whether through our own experiences or interactions with friends, family, or colleagues. Our discussions highlighted the importance of open conversations, promoting a community of care, and learning how to best support those around us. A special thank you to the panel members who tried the MenoVests provided by Over The Bloody Moon including James Cooke, Duncan Beckman, Peter Foreman, Francis Rawson, and Oliver Henry, and to the many others who stopped to use the MenoVest and VR headsets, gaining insight into the daily challenged faced by a perimenopausal woman. A thank you to Chanel Power our Health and Wellbeing Campaign Specialist for organising this event. We are excited to continue this important conversation and make a positive difference for all our colleagues.  

Showcasing the amazing opportunities in Engineering at easyJet James Cooke and the team will be back again at the #BigBangFair. Already a successful two days at the #stem awareness careers fair - come along on Friday and meet the team in Aviation Corner #EngineeringUK

At ILA Berlin - Pioneering Aerospace the Alliance for Zero-Emission Aviation (AZEA), co-chaired by easyJet and Airbus, has yesterday launched its vision for reducing aviation’s climate impact in Europe – with hydrogen and electric propulsion identified as key to the transition. Our Senior Policy Officer Eóghain M. (left) presented the #AZEA vision together with the Director of Defence François Arbault at the EU´s DG DEFIS (right) and Karine GUENAN VP ZEROe @Airbus (back) at a panel to the ILA audience.   The vision paper has identified three propulsion technologies as having the most potential to power conventional aircraft without generating in-flight CO2. These include hydrogen combustion, hydrogen fuel cell, and battery-electric propulsion, which according to new findings contained in the vision paper, could help to reduce emissions by up to 31% by 2050 on intra-EEA routes in the best case scenario, and aviation's total warming impact by much more.   The vision paper also outlines 5 key recommendation areas to help make the transition a reality, including: 1. Aircraft – The policy framework should continue to maximise support for electric and hydrogen aircraft technologies to help leverage private investment, including for technologies at high technological readiness levels. 2. Energy generation and transmission – Aviation stakeholders and governments should begin a dialogue to coordinate the integration of aviation’s energy demands into energy planning, including the connection of key aerodromes to electric and hydrogen grids, and the generation or import of renewable and low carbon energy. 3. Aerodromes – Aerodromes should start early dialogues with governments as well as electricity and hydrogen suppliers to prepare the adaptation of their infrastructures (including for instance additional space for battery charging and hydrogen infrastructure) and the supply of the required energy; government-industry cooperation will also be needed to equip the aviation workforce with new skills. 4. Certification, regulation, and standardisation – Regulators need to be supported in engaging with industry at an early stage, ensuring regulations and certification are electric- and hydrogen-ready, and certification costs should be considered. 5. Airspace – Integrating new aircraft into the European network will require operational coordination between airspace stakeholders and continued political support.   With 160+ organisations forming the AZEA membership, all committed to fulfilling the objectives of the European Green Deal, the launch of this paper represents a significant milestone for the development of zero-carbon emission technology – something that the industry, policymakers and everyone connected with aviation will need to work together on to deliver.   Click here (https://lnkd.in/dhSk4Phz) to read AZEA’s vision paper in full.

Yesterday morning, on World Environment Day, we took part in a round table ‘The Journey of Sustainability’ organised with our partner Aeroporto Olbia Costa Smeralda and with the participation of Federalberghi and Confindustria Centro Nord Sardegna.   With the joint aim of a positive summer for Sardinia tourism, the event was a valuable opportunity for main players in the supply chain to discuss paths towards more sustainable tourism and to highlight the synergetic work carried out to date, with the aim of promoting a more sustainable model from both an environmental and a social point of view.   Today easyJet is the leading company operating at Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport, with a total of 18 routes operated in Summer 2024. 

We are happy to be recognised in an industry-first initiative with an award from Onboard Hospitality. Alongside our partners at Ecoffee Cup® we developed and rolled out reusable cups and cutlery sets to all our inflight crew – over 140,000 of them, a move which will in the long run save us from using over 10 million single-use items each year, equivalent to 71 tonnes of plastic. One of many actions, alongside our detailed roadmap to net-zero, which we are taking to ensure we reduce our impact today and in doing so safeguard a sustainable future for travel.   #Sustainability #Reuse #EcoffeeCup

Our expansion in Malta. Today we’re delighted to have finalised an agreement which will see easyJet acquire the @SR Technics maintenance facility in Malta. Our Chief Operating Officer David Morgan, Director of Engineering Brendan McConnellogue and Country Manager for the UK and Malta Ali Gayward were joined by Prime Minister of Malta Dr Robert Abela at the maintenance hangar today, which signals the handover of the facility to easyJet. This will see us undertake heavy maintenance on our growing fleet of more than 340 aircraft and welcome the workforce of more than 400 currently based at the facility to the easyJet team. As part of our continued expansion in Malta, we’ve also announced a new route to Liverpool and will operate 30% more flying to and from Malta this summer, now offering 10 routes and carrying 400,000 customers each year, enabling us to offer more choice to visit this fantastic holiday destination in the heart of the Mediterranean, and connecting Malta with the rest of Europe. https://lnkd.in/emfkNS-A

We’re excited to announce that we’ll be opening another three-aircraft base at London Southend Airport next summer, which will create hundreds of jobs and provide even greater choice and connectivity – as we’re also launching new routes and easyJet holidays from the airport for summer 2025 to a fantastic range of popular beach and city destinations including Pisa, Gran Canaria, Dalaman, Antalya, Marrakech and Enfidha.   This year we’re set to operate more UK flying than ever before with over 57 million seats - a 10% increase versus last year - and 70 new routes from the UK, fuelled by strong consumer demand for easyJet’s flights and holidays - and we can’t wait to welcome more people onboard!   Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eQajNHA8
