EasyJet follows Ryanair and Wizz to plan summer sun takeoff after Omicron 

EasyJet chief executive Johan Lundgren said 1.1m extra seats were on sale from its largest airport, London Gatwick.

Burgeoning demand in the UK is set to unleash frenzied competition at EasyJet’s main base.

Britain's EasyJet is following Ryanair and other low-cost rivals by targeting growth this summer after the shadow of Omicron lifts.

The easing of travel restrictions had spurred demand for summer beach destinations such as Greece, Turkey, and Spain, giving the airline cause for optimism.
