easyJet announces resumption of flights from 15 June
along with new biosecurity measures
This announcement contains inside information.
easyJet has today announced that it will resume flights on 15
June.
A small number of flights will restart on routes where we
believe there is sufficient customer demand to support profitable
flying. The initial schedule will comprise mainly domestic flying
in the UK and France. Further routes will be announced over the
coming weeks as customer demand increases and lockdown measures
across Europe are relaxed.
We will continue to refine our schedule planning and our
capacity expectations for the remainder of 2020, which will be
confirmed in due course, whilst also continuing our focus on
minimising cash burn.
Alongside the resumption of services, easyJet has announced a
range of new measures to help ensure the health and wellbeing of
both customers and crew onboard. These include:
-- Customers, cabin and ground crew will be required to wear masks
-- Enhanced cleaning and disinfection of easyJet aircraft
-- Availability of disinfectant wipes and hand sanitiser onboard
-- Initially, no onboard food service
The measures have been implemented in consultation with aviation
authorities ICAO and EASA, and in line with government and medical
advice.
We will also continue to promote our easyJet mobile app, which
avoids paper boarding passes, and work closely with our partner
airports to ensure all measures recommended by local and European
authorities are implemented.
Johan Lundgren, easyJet CEO said:
"I am really pleased that we will be returning to flying in the
middle of June. These are small and carefully planned steps that we
are taking to gradually resume operations. We will continue to
closely monitor the situation across Europe so that when more
restrictions are lifted the schedule will continue to build over
time to match demand, while also ensuring we are operating
efficiently and on routes that our customers want.
"The safety and wellbeing of our customers remains our highest
priority, which is why we are implementing a number of measures to
enhance safety at each part of the journey, from disinfecting the
aircraft to requiring customers and crew to wear masks. These
measures will remain in place for as long as is needed to ensure
customers and crew are able to fly safely as the world continues to
recover from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic."
