Ray Webster, easyJet Chief Executive, said:

'September was a solid month reflected by a one percentage point increase in the
load factor. Results include the benefits of network adjustments introduced
progressively over the summer months, which strengthened our business.
Controlled and sustained growth continued in the month with six new routes
announced and another six started, all of which fit our business model of
linking key markets by flying to attractive and convenient airports.

'As indicated on 23 September, pre-tax profit for the year is expected to exceed
£60 million, at least 16% higher than 2003, making easyJet one of the few
European airlines to record an increase in profits this year.'

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. This is provisional and unaudited at the time
of publication and may be subject to change. The audited figure will be
published on 23 November 2004.
