Below are the easyJet passenger statistics for May 2007.

Strong load factors, which were broadly in line with last year, were supported by targeted promotional activity and low lead-in fares. We will continue to offer low fares throughout the summer to ensure great deals for our customers and high load factors. For the second half we anticipate total revenue per seat to decline in the region of 5% to 10% versus last year.

In the second half we will see increased momentum in cost reductions with unit costs, excluding fuel, down in excess of 5% year on year. This anticipated decrease in unit costs reflects continued improvements in the cost of aircraft ownership, careful management of airport related costs and a reduction in overheads. For the year to September 2007 our guidance remains unchanged, and we expect to increase pre-tax profits by 40% to 50% compared with the previous year.

easyJet's network expansion continued in May with the launch of eight new routes including new daily services between Paris and Athens, and Edinburgh and Milan, as well as six new routes developing easyJet's German and UK bases, bringing low fares to more travellers throughout Europe.
