EasyJet plans to operate a record number of flights during next summer’s peak when it will have over 79,000 services to and from the UK.
It is expecting to carry over 45 million passengers over the whole of the summer, it said today as it put 22.5 million seats on sale for the period from June 1 to September 6.
UK director Sophie Dekkers said: "We expect the bucket and spade routes to Spain, Portugal and the Greek Islands to be as popular as ever, or for late summer sun, Turkey, Egypt and The Canaries will be in demand."
However, the airline revealed that more than one in five of its passengers are now travelling on business, equating to more than 12 million passengers a year.
