EasyJet to resume flights across most European routes by August

EasyJet has announced plans to restart flights across the majority of its routes this summer, with holiday flights from all its UK airports in July and August. The airline said it would be flying half of its 1,022 routes in July and 75% in August, although with lower frequencies – amounting to just under a third of its normal peak season capacity. The move comes after it announced it would cut up to 4,500 staff because of reduced demand. Last month, easyJet said it would restart some UK and European flights from 15 June, as the rate of Covid-19 infection started to reduce across the continent. It has launched a marketing blitz including a seat sale of 1m flights at GBP29.99 each. Customers may need some tempting after a long wait for many to be refunded for cancelled flights from airlines during the grounding.<br/>
