EasyJet passengers are now able to use personal electronic devices such as laptops, tables and mobiles onboard throughout the whole flight, including during take-off and landing.
The gadgets must be placed in ‘Flight Mode’ and mobiles can’t be used for making or receiving calls or texts.
EasyJet said today’s move follows recent recommendations from the European Aviation Safety Agency for restrictions on the use of gadgets onboard aircraft to be relaxed.
Peter Duffy, easyJet’s group commercial director, customer, product and marketing said: "We know that portable devices are an important part of our customers’ journey with us so we are pleased they can now use their electronic devices onboard in ‘Flight mode’ for the duration of their flight with us – we think this will be a popular change."
