LUTON (dpa-AFX) - Low-cost airline easyJet Plc (ESYJY.PK, EZJ.L) reported growth in both passengers and load factor for the month of July 2014.
Number of passengers in July 2014, representing the number of earned seats flown, grew 7.7% to 6.43 million from 5.98 million in the same month last year. 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.
Monthly load factor, which represents the number of passengers as a proportion of the number of seats available for passengers, was 92.9 percent, up 1.3 percentage points from 91.6 percent reported last year.
