Britain's easyJet (EZJ.L) said it had outperformed its first-half expectations despite the challenges of COVID-19 and rising fuel prices, with capacity ramping up to reach 80% of pre-pandemic levels in March and a recovery in demand.
The low-cost carrier, which has been hit by staff shortages, said it had flown 94% of its planned schedule in the last seven days.
It said January's announcement in Britain of the end of travel restrictions had boosted summer bookings.
"We remain confident in our plans which will see us reaching near 2019 flying levels for this summer."
