EasyJet to expand holiday business after strong first half

"It is a great set of numbers, it is actually one of the best-ever winter performances that the company has had," easyJet CEO Johan Lundgren told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe."
Lundgren also said he would focus on attracting business passengers and introducing a new loyalty programme, strategies which he believes will drive higher returns for shareholders.

British low-cost airline easyJet will expand its holiday business and add a loyalty scheme as new CEO Johan Lundgren seeks to make his mark on the company after reporting strong first-half results.

EasyJet said on Tuesday it would invest more in easyJet Holidays, with Lundgren positioning the company to better compete against his former employer holiday company TUI and its rival Thomas Cook.

"It is a great set of numbers, it is actually one of the best-ever winter performances that the company has had," easyJet CEO Johan Lundgren told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" on Tuesday.

Lundgren also said he would focus on attracting business passengers and introducing a new loyalty programme, strategies which he believes will drive higher returns for shareholders.

The new focus comes after easyJet swung into profit for the first half, on results that excluded the costly impact of its expansion into Berlin's Tegel airport last year.

In the traditionally weaker winter half-year period when fewer Europeans travel, easyJet posted a pretax profit of 8 million pounds ($10.8 million), a big improvement on the 212 million pound loss it made in the same period last year.

When asked whether he was concerned about the recent upswing in oil prices, Lundgren replied: "We compete very well when the oil prices actually go up compared to others who tend to ground their aircrafts… Therefore, the competitive pressures will be slightly easier for us."

The company said it benefited from a reduction of capacity in the airline market after rival British operator Monarch collapsed last year and Italy's Alitalia went into administration.

For the full year, easyJet expects to post pretax profit, including the impact of the losses from Tegel, in the range of 530 million to 580 million pounds, up at least 30 percent on 2017's outcome.

EasyJet reiterates interest in London Heathrow Airport

UK LCC easyJet has again voiced its support for London’s Heathrow Airport expansion, arguing that increased capacity could open the way for low-cost carriers to fly from the London hub.
“The airline has been working closely with Heathrow for a number of years and has been able to confirm that low-cost operations would be viable at Heathrow. This would include easyJet’s requirements for its ‘walk in, walk out’ boarding process and 25-minute aircraft turnaround time,” easyJet said at the Heathrow Connectivity Conference.
EasyJet added that, between 2000 and 2017, there was a 40% decrease domestic capacity from Heathrow—with the number of UK destinations falling from 14 to eight—and a 13% reduction on European services.
Conversely, the airline said LCC competition at Heathrow could reduce domestic and European fares by around 30%, as well as creating new routes and reopening connections that have been lost because of congestion.
“An easyJet base at Heathrow would be in line with easyJet’s strategy of flying between Europe’s primary airports with strong demand from leisure and business passengers. EasyJet already operates successfully from other hub airports such as Amsterdam Schiphol and Paris Charles De Gaulle,” the LCC said.
EasyJet would also look to use Worldwide by easyJet at Heathrow, creating flight connections between its own short-haul network and other airlines’ long-haul destinations.
On Oct. 25, a UK government committee selected the third runway over extending Heathrow’s northern runway (Heathrow Hub), or adding a runway at London's Gatwick Airport. Earlier this month, UK government ministers gave their backing to the £14-£17 billion ($19-$23 billion) north-west runway plan.
“The expansion of Heathrow Airport would allow the entry of low-cost carriers to the airport at scale for the first time,” easyJet said.

Qualcuno sa come funziona con easyJet ed easyJet Europe?
Sono tornato da Larnaca l'altro giorno con easyJet e l'aereo era immatricolato OE- ma da nessuna parte era indicato che il volo era operato da easyJet Europe invece che da easyJet ne sulla fusoliera, ne sulla safety card o sulla prenotazione. Non sono tenuti a indicare il reale operatore del volo, come accade con la filiare svizzera che ha (o aveva?) le safety card con la bandiera svizzera?
 
Devo dire che anche io non ho mai sentito l’annuncio easyJet Europe.
La targhetta però c’era all’ingresso

Ti arriva anche una email qualche giorno prima del volo per dirti che volerai con eJ europe e non eJ uk.

A me era arrivata a Novembre, all’inizio di EZY Eu, poi ho volato spesso con aerei OE ma non l’ho mai ricevuta.
Una volta l’annuncio che avremmo volato con EZY Eu è stata fatta al gate (MXP)

Credo sia automatica: volato due volte a giugno ed in entrambi i casi l'ho ricevuta.

Mah magari è stato un cambio aereo last minute. Forse dato che volo una settimana si e l’altra pure il sistema avrà detto “ormai è esperto” haha

Hanno previsto un addestramento per il NEO o ci salirete sopra come un qualsiasi CEO?

I cambi sono solo al livello di qualche sistema e qualche limitazione diversa, il modo di volare l'aereo e la presentazione delle informazioni è la stessa, quindi è da un paio d'anni che abbiamo del materiale di studio e un annetto fa abbiamo avuto un esame da passare per poterlo volare, ma non c'è bisogno di un training diverso
Ci sarà invece un training a parte per il 321
 
La targhetta sono abbastanza sicuro di non averla vista, ma ero abbastanza alterato perché hanno iniziato l’imbarco e poi ci hanno fatto passare i successivi 30 minuti in piedi ammassati tra il banchetto e la porta del gate e poi sulle scale per il piazzale.
Gli annunci non hanno fatto menzione di Ezy Europe, niente nemmeno come mail o comunicazioni sull’app (altro capitolo penoso, le motivazioni dei ritardi segnati).

Velivolo OE-IJZ che ho visto da Flightradar24 ha fatto la solita rotazione della macchina che fa la LCA.
