EasyJet posts record passenger numbers over summer
EasyJet posted record passenger numbers over the summer as it benefited from the struggles of rivals in the fiercely competitive European short-haul airline market. Despite a GBP100m currency hit in the wake of the Brexit referendum, EasyJet said pre-tax profits for the year ending in September are expected to be between GBP405m and GBP410m, at the upper end of the previously guided range. Profits are still below the GBP495m recorded by the airline in 2016, and down from GBP686m in 2015, but form a bright contrast to the collapse of Monarch and the flight cancellation fiasco at Ryanair. During the 3months to the end of September, EasyJet flew 24.1m passengers, with capacity reaching a high of 95.6%. <br/>
