Ray Webster, easyJet Chief Executive, said:
"Both our passenger numbers and load factors - the proportion of seats filled
-continued to grow as planned in September, reflecting the effectiveness of our
low-cost model. In the last month we have won the Business Traveller award for
'best low-cost airline', which demonstrates that business passengers continue to
be attracted by our unique combination of the lowest fares to the most
convenient and popular airports. This award has been given to easyJet or Go for
each of the last five years."
(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.
