As a result of the security disruption, on 10 August 2006, easyJet cancelled a
total of 469 flights: 290 flights on the day of the initial disruption, 112 on
Friday 11 August, and a further 67 flight through to Monday 14 August.  easyJet
accommodated the majority of affected customers on alternative flights, and
offered affected passengers the chance to change any bookings in the period free
of charge or to have a refund.



The disruption resulted in additional costs related to passenger assistance and
compensation; it impacted revenue during the period and in the immediate
aftermath.  The impact of the cancellations, passenger assistance and
compensation over the period of the disruption is estimated to be in the region
of £4m.  In spite of this, easyJet maintains its current guidance for pre-tax
profit growth for the full year ending 30 September 2006 to be in the region of
40% to 50%.



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)
