Who owns easyJet? easyJet was founded by Stelios Haji-Iannou. He and his siblings remain the biggest easyJet shareholders although the company has floated its shares on the LSE.
EasyJet now operates an all-Airbus fleet, and discount carriers generally prefer to operate planes from one manufacturer to keep training and maintenance costs low.
October 2002 saw easyJet make headlines in the airline industry by switching its preferred aircraft supplier from Boeing to Airbus. It had previously been a loyal customer of the 737 family, having exclusively flown variants of the type since the mid-1990s.
Both Ryanair and EasyJet uniquely use one genre of plane, 737 and a320 family respectively. All employees: pilots, mechanics, flight staff etc therefore solely require training for that one vehicle. Both training costs and even more valuable – the currency of the low-cost – time, is drastically saved.
Limited focus on premium services: EasyJet's low-cost business model does not offer the same range of premium services as some of its competitors, such as business class seating or in-flight meals. This can limit its appeal to some travelers, particularly those prioritizing comfort and luxury.
While airlines have traditionally offered seat-back screens, 'Air Time' will enable easyJet customers to tune in to a wide range of short-haul suited entertainment including TV and film, kids entertainment, games and audio books as well as easyJet flight information and destination guides, on their own devices.
On European routes, passengers can use easyJet Onboard, a digital service that you can access through your phone, tablet, or laptop. To use the service, you will need to connect to the easyJet Onboard WiFi — which kicks in at 10,000 feet — and scan the QR code on the back of the seat rest.
Fully agree with other posters, EasyJet are usually VERY strict on carry-on sizes. If your bag does not fit in the sizing cage, it goes into the hold and you are out of pocket, period. It is highly advisable to get a new bag.
