easyJet (U2) July 2025 Operational Report

Flight Activity Overview

Total arriving flights: 56,809

Year-over-year change: 1.39%

easyJet handled strong mid‑summer demand in Europe, with tourist flows to coastal and city destinations lifting short‑haul volumes. Capacity was scheduled tightly around morning and evening peaks, and competitive fares helped consolidate share on leisure trunk routes. The year‑over‑year change reflects both a more stable aircraft availability versus last year and a fuller recovery in city‑break travel.

On-Time Performance and Cancellations

On-time arrival rate: 78.52%

Year-over-year change (on-time rate): 6.88%

Cancelled flights: 1,324

Year-over-year change (cancellations): -16.57%

Punctuality in July was shaped by a mix of external and internal factors: localized thunderstorms across Western Europe, air traffic flow management regulations in busy airspace, and variable ground‑handling loads at London and Mediterranean bases. In response, easyJet adjusted departure buffers, prioritized aircraft turnarounds at congested stations, and deployed additional engineering support to reduce knock‑on delays and limit cancellations.

Key Hubs

Key bases such as London Gatwick, Milan Malpensa, and Berlin Brandenburg anchor easyJet's point‑to‑point network. Leisure routes to Spain, Greece, and Italy remained vibrant, while core city pairs like London–Amsterdam sustained weekday business travel. Aircraft rotations are structured in waves to maximize daily utilization and enable practical self‑connections where airport processes support them.

Outlook

Fleet & capacity: easyJet will continue taking A320neo‑family deliveries under its orderbook and retain flexibility with short‑term wet‑lease cover during peaks. Capacity growth into late summer and autumn will be measured and focused on Mediterranean leisure flows and resilient city‑pair corridors.

Operations: the airline is prioritizing turnaround reliability through boarding‑flow improvements, better first‑wave readiness, and incremental spare coverage at congested bases. These actions aim to sustain high‑70s to low‑80s on‑time performance under normal conditions and to limit cancellation exposure during weather or ATC constraints.

Network & customer: selected frequency adds are planned on Spain, Greece and Italy routes, alongside core business pairs such as London–Amsterdam. Trials of digital boarding and expanded self‑service bag‑drop will continue at key stations to smooth queues and reduce variability.

Sustainability: easyJet will build on SAF offtake opportunities where available and continue weight‑reduction initiatives and single‑engine taxi procedures to lower emissions intensity.
