easyJet sees growing confidence for travel following ease of UK restrictions

Following the news that UK-wide restrictions over the Christmas period would be eased, easyJet notes that searches for flights and holidays increased by over 200% week-on-week. The airline also saw a significant rise in demand for December flights, with domestic connections between London and Bristol to Belfast and London to Edinburgh proving amongst the most popular.

“Following the government announcement this week we have seen a 200% increase in searches for both flights and holidays, with domestic bookings significantly up week on week proving popular for those looking to visit friends and family over December. So we know underlying demand is there, which we see every time travel restrictions are lifted,” said Johan Lundgren, CEO of easyJet.  “We continue to closely review our flying programme to ensure we are aligning our schedule with customer demand. We also launched our Black Friday Sale yesterday and the positive response in terms of bookings seems to show a growing confidence to make travel plans.”
