British airline easyJet expects full-year revenue to beat market forecasts, it mentioned on Tuesday, inspired by summer time bookings and powerful demand over Easter regardless of French strikes.

Airways in Europe have reported strong summer time bookings regardless of excessive inflation and an unsure macroeconomic outlook.

“We see continued sturdy reserving momentum into summer time as clients prioritise spending on journey and select airways, like easyJet, providing the most effective worth and vacation spot combine,” mentioned CEO Johan Lundgren.
