EasyJet Europe CE: Goal to be the number one in focus cities
EasyJet is continuing its expansion out of Berlin, which has become a focus city for the carrier, and is part of its strategy to hold dominant market shares in the large European cities where it has bases. EasyJet Europe CE Thomas Haagensen said that by 2019, the airline will have 25 aircraft and more than 1,000 employees based at Berlin-Tegel Airport. The airline is acquiring 25 Airbus A320s that previously belonged to Airberlin. The company is wet-leasing 10 aircraft until all the Airberlin A320s are delivered. “This year our focus is on Berlin and we will continue to undergo our capacity expansion...we expect our passenger numbers to rise from 5m to 15m passengers per year in the German capital,” Haagensen said. EasyJet’s market share in Germany is about 7%-8%, but will grow significantly, said Haagensen. <br/>
