Andy Harrison, easyJet Chief Executive said:
'As we stated last winter, we continue to see pressure on yields in the summer
against high comparatives from last year and due to continued competition. This
is evident in our revenue performance for April which fell on a per seat basis
compared with the same month in 2006. Our guidance remains unchanged, for the
full year to September 2007 we expect pre-tax profit growth of 40% to 50%.
'April marked another milestone for easyJet as we took delivery of our 100th
Airbus A319. From taking delivery of our first Airbus in September 2003, we
have taken our 100th in little over three and a half years. In pursuing this
growth, easyJet has taken an A319 into its fleet on average every 12 days - a
faster rate than any other airline in history. The addition of the 100th Airbus
takes the total number of aircraft in easyJet's fleet to 130, and with an
average age of 2.3 years, our fleet is one of the youngest and most
environmentally friendly in Europe.'
easyJet will announce its first half results for the six months to March 2007
tomorrow. There will be an analyst presentation at 9am and a live webcast of
the presentation will be available at www.easyJet.com.

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 (unaudited).
