__________________________________________________________________


Load factors were strong in March at over 86%, slightly ahead of expectations
and ahead of our 12 month rolling average.

Year on year seat capacity grew 13% in the month with passenger growth somewhat
lower at 7%.  This is due to the exceptionally high loads last year as a result
of Easter falling in March.

First half results will be announced on 3rd May 2006.

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 unaudited statutory revenue, which includes the invoiced value of
airline and ancillary services, net of passenger tax
