This announcement contains insider information.

easyJet has this afternoon submitted a proposal to the overseers of Air Berlin's insolvency to acquire parts of its short haul business.

The proposal is consistent with easyJet's focused, city-based strategy in Germany.  However, given a number of uncertainties associated with Air Berlin, there is no certainty at this stage that any transaction will proceed.

easyJet will provide a further update in due course if and when appropriate.
