100%
In the past year, easyJet delivered a considerably improved nancial result
as pre-tax prot increased by £99.3 million to £154.0 million despite
some signicant challenges. External factors such as the disruption
toEuropean airspace due to the eruption of the Eyjafjalla volcano,
unprecedented levels of snow disruption and high levels of ATC industrial
action have combined with some operational problems to make this past
year an exceptionally tough one.
easyJet’s continued strong performance in the face of major disruption is
a tribute to the professionalism and commitment of all of easyJet’s people
and the Board and I would to thank them for their efforts which are very
much appreciated.
The Board and strategy
Carolyn McCall OBE and Chris Kennedy joined the easyJet Board in July
of this year as Chief Executive and Chief Financial Ofcer, respectively.
Both bring signicant experience in operational roles within consumer
facing businesses and the Board and I are delighted to be working
alongside them as they take easyJet forward.
