Ray Webster, easyJet Chief Executive, said:



'August was another strong month for easyJet: load factor and passenger growth
were both virtually unchanged from last month. Unit revenue (total revenue per
seat flown) continued to increase year-on-year. We maintain the revenue and
profits guidance issued with our Q3 statistics last month.



'During the month easyJet announced six new routes for the coming winter season,
including five to Geneva for the ski season. easyJet has long given skiers more
choice on destinations and frequencies than any other low-cost airline - and now
offers 82 routes to 14 ski airports.'

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
