EasyJet agrees deal in Stelios row

Low-cost airline easyJet today announced a deal to end its long-running row with founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou and secure its use of the “easy” brand.

The budget carrier has agreed a multimillion-pound-a-year package for Haji-Ioannou in order to resolve an increasingly bitter dispute over a strategy which threatened to see it forced into a rebrand.
