easyJet, Europe's leading airline, is today celebrating twenty years of flying.

On November 10, 1995 easyJet's first ever flight took off from Luton to Glasgow. Twenty years on, the airline flies over 68 million passengers to 137 airports in 31 countries and operates 788 routes across Europe.

Captain Fred Rivett was at the controls of that first flight which was EZY121 operated by a Boeing 737-200. Lisa Burger (now easyJet's Head of Customer) checked in the very first easyJet passenger and easyJet's founder Stelios joined passengers and media on board that first flight. All three and others from the airline's early days were among the guests at a special birthday event at easyJet's headquarters in Luton.

easyJet unveiled a special livery aircraft featuring a mosaic of more than 100,000 of its customers' most-loved holiday snaps and selfies taken during their travels across Europe over the past twenty years.  The aircraft symbolises the role that easyJet has played in changing the way that people across Europe travel thanks to its low fares, friendly service and focus on making travel easier and more affordable.
