Ray Webster, easyJet Chief Executive, said:

'easyJet's performance during July continues the trend predicted in our summer
trading statement. Particularly pleasing is the achievement of load factors in
the mid eighties, which confirms the appeal to passengers of our combination of
attractive fares and convenient airports.'
     
1.   In July 2002, Go Fly, as an independent company, carried 645,602 passengers 
     with a load factor of 87.0%.  On a proforma basis, in July 2002, easyJet 
     and Go Fly carried 1,724,319 passengers with a load factor of 87.6%. 
     easyJet acquired Go Fly on 31 July 2002. This will be the last month that
     figures for the individual airlines are published.
     
2.   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.
          
3.   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.
