EasyJet has made it into to the FTSE 100 index, the index of the biggest firms listed in London.
It is the first time the airline has made it into the blue-chip list.
The airline’s CEO Carolyn McCall said: "Reaching the FTSE 100 is the result of the successful delivery of our strategy of sustainable growth and returns and our disciplined approach to capital allocation.’¨
"EasyJet’s distinctive positioning of low fares with friendly service across Europe’s leading network is providing industry leading returns for our shareholders."
The move, which is set to be good for the company’s share price, will take effect from the start of trading on Monday March 18.
