About easyJet

easyJet is a British low-cost airline carrier based at London Luton Airport. The airline operates scheduled domestic and international flights to over 150 destinations in over 30 countries, and is one of the largest low-cost carriers in the UK and Europe.

easyJet was established in 1995, employing just 70 people and being based at London Luton Airport. Even in the founding business model, the airline focused on the practice of price elasticity, allowing for cheap flight tickets. Over the years, the airline has acquired many additional aircraft and airlines, establishing new bases around Europe such as Geneva, Nice and Porto. Current subsidiaries include easyJet Switzerland. In July 2017, the airline announced that it would open a new Austrian headquarters which would allow them to operate flights after Brexit.

easyJet is featured as one of our cheapest airlines on our blog about the best-value airlines in the world! The airline is also working to be more carbon-efficient, with a carbon offsetting program and research and development into an all-electric aircraft.
