easyJet

easyJet is Europe's second-largest low-cost carrier and one of the continent's most recognized airline brands, operating an extensive network of point-to-point routes across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East with a distinctive orange livery that has become synonymous with affordable European air travel. Headquartered in Luton, England, easyJet has built its success on the simple proposition of making air travel affordable and accessible to everyone — applying the Ryanair-inspired low-cost model with a somewhat more customer-friendly execution that has earned it consistently higher satisfaction scores than its main UK low-cost rival. easyJet operates from 28 European bases across the UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain, giving it unparalleled coverage of Europe's most popular leisure and business routes.

The airline operates an all-Airbus A320 family fleet — a deliberate fleet simplification strategy that reduces training and maintenance costs — and has been a significant customer for both the Airbus A320neo and A321neo. easyJet's revenue model charges separately for hold baggage, seat selection, and priority boarding, though it includes one free item of hand luggage (a small bag that fits under the seat). easyJet Holidays, the airline's integrated package holiday division, has become a significant profit contributor, selling hotel and flight combinations that generate higher margins than flights alone.
