Ray Webster, easyJet Chief Executive, said:

'May 2005 was yet another month of innovation and achievement for easyJet. We
announced that we were, yet again, leveraging our proprietary reservation system
to remove barriers to purchase and make life easier for our customers; this time
by allowing up to 40 passengers to be booked in a single online booking - an
increase from the previous eight.

'New services were announced from Basle, our fifth European base. We introduced
Basle to the easyJet network following our withdrawal from high-cost Zurich and
we expect to carry some 1.2m passengers on our 13 routes in the coming 12
months.

'A couple of weeks after celebrating the arrival of our 100th aircraft, we
reached another important milestone when we welcomed our 100 millionth passenger
- a grandmother on her way to Malaga with her family; and for the fourth year
running, we were voted the favourite low-cost airline for business travellers in
the Barclaycard Business Survey 2005.

'We have no change to the guidance issued to investors at the time of our
interim financial results. Based on our current trading outlook, total revenue
per seat for the year to September 2005 is likely to be unchanged compared to
the same period last year. At prevailing fuel prices and exchanges rates, we
continue to expect reported pre-tax profit to be below last year but in line
with current expectations.'

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
