Things to know about easyJet
When Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou founded easyJet in 1995 at 28, he certainly did not expect to be knighted for entrepreneurship in 2006. He set up the airline with the idea of offering low-cost flights in Europe. His goal was a huge success because, in 2018, the airline was named ‘Best Low-Cost Airline in the UK’ for the second time. EasyJet’s home base is in Luton Airport, England. In April 1996, easyJet flew its plane to Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Nice for the first time. Nowadays, easyJet flies on 802 flight routes to 31 countries and new destinations are added every year. Travelgenio.uk is the right place to find the best deals for low-cost airline tickets!
