Ray Webster, easyJet Chief Executive, said:


'In trading conditions that continue to be tough, easyJet delivered planned
growth for December with load factors marginally ahead of last year and
passengers increasing by 28%. During the month we launched our schedule for the
coming summer season with volumes selling in line with our expectations - we are
now selling a total of 188 routes, compared to 127 at the same time last 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.
