History

The airline was established following the UK referendum vote to leave the European Union and the airline's preparation against possible outcomes of Brexit. EasyJet structured itself as a pan-European airline group with three different air operator's certificates, each based in Austria, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.[3]

EasyJet plc is thus a pan-European airline group with three airlines based in the UK, Austria and Switzerland (easyJet UK, easyJet Europe, and easyJet Switzerland), all fully or part-owned by easyJet plc, based in the UK and listed on the London Stock Exchange.[4]

On 17 August 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, easyJet announced it would close its bases in Newcastle upon Tyne, London–Stansted and London–Southend on the 31 August 2020.[5]
