EasyJet says March passenger traffic up 20.5%
British budget airline easyJet Plc said on Monday its total number of passengers climbed 20.5% year-on-year in March to just over 3.7 million, helped by the acquisition of GB Airways.
EasyJet operated flights recorded a 13.7% rise, while the GB Airways figures fell 10.8%, it said. From next month the airline will stop reporting the two numbers separately.
It could not immediately be reached for further comment.
Shares in the firm, down nearly 40% this year, were up 2.5% at 384 pence, valuing it at Å1.6 billion ($3.20 billion).
EasyJet issued a profit warning last month, citing higher fuel costs driven upwards by the price of oil. (Reuters)
