EasyJet flying high despite attack fears

BUDGET airline easyJet pointed towards higher profits yesterday as it brushed aside fears over the impact of the London bombings on its business.

EasyJet carried 18% more passengers last month even though many travellers were wary about travelling to Britain in the wake of the attacks.

News that 2.85 million people flew with easyJet in July came on the day that British Airways said passenger capacity on its planes had also hit a monthly record.
