easyJet has announced additional partners for its Worldwide by easyJet product, which launched this month. Stand-alone tickets on behalf of four new partner airlines will be on sale by the end of the year.

Following the airing of the two part ITV documentary, easyJet: Inside the Cockpit, the low-cost carrier has seen a significant increase in interest from budding pilots to its careers website. Visits to its careers page at easyJet.com increased to over 28,500 across both episodes during the two hours in which they were broadcast compared to typical user figures of 7,000 visits for a similar two hour period.

Luton-based easyJet has revealed total revenue per seat rose 2.2 per cent for the three months ended June 30th, when stripping out exchange-rate fluctuations. The low-cost carrier had projected a low single-digit per-seat revenue decline in the period after the key performance metric fell 9.7 per cent in the first six months.

Low-cost carrier easyJet is planning to establish a new company in Austria as it seeks to protect its business from the impact of Brexit. As the UK prepares to leave the European Union, the Luton-based carrier said it would establish a new airline, EasyJet Europe, based in Vienna.

easyJet has become the first European airline to launch an Amazon Alexa skill that enables passengers to easily and quickly check their flight status. Skills are Alexa’s in-built capabilities that enable users to interact with devices, like Amazon Echo and Amazon Echo Dot, using just their voice.

Europcar and easyJet have announced a two year extension to their existing partnership which has been in place for 13 years.
