Ray Webster, Chief Executive of easyJet said:

'Trading during the third quarter was as expected and the outlook for the full
year remains as indicated in our statement of 7 June.

'At that time we said '... we would expect a stable geopolitical environment to
allow us to generate pre tax profits in the current year that at least exceed
the £52 million achieved last year' and this continues to be our view today.

'Load factors in the two remaining months of the year are holding steady in the
high 80s. Yields remain under pressure.

'As previously indicated, work continues on reviewing our capacity growth and
deployment and we will make a detailed statement before the end of the calendar
year'

1.Represents the number of earned seats flown. Earned seats include seats that
are flown whether or not the passenger turns up because easyJet is a no-refund
airline, and once a flight has departed a no-show customer is generally not
entitled to change flights or seek a refund. Earned seats also include seats
provided for promotional purposes and to staff for business travel.

2. Represents the number of passengers as a proportion of the number of seats
available for passengers. No weighting of the load factor is carried out to
recognise the effect of varying flight (or 'stage') lengths.

3. Represents statutory revenue (unaudited)
