easyJet celebrates 30 years in the sky
The UK's biggest budget airline is celebrating three decades of low-cost travel.
EasyJet, is celebrating the anniversary of its very first flight, which took place on November 10, 1995 and started a thirty-year legacy of affordable travel.
EasyJet has marked the 30th anniversary of its first ever flight from London Luton to Glasgow by operating the very same flight today, staffed entirely by pilots and cabin crew who also turn 30 this November.
Kenton Jarvis, CEO of easyJet, commented:
“easyJet has made it possible for millions of people to travel easily and affordably, opening up new opportunities that once felt out of reach. The benefits of this are clear, not just in the economic impact this has had for the UK, but also in the lasting impact that the democratisation of travel has had for society, which we have been incredibly proud to contribute to over the last 30 years.
“Our special anniversary flight today, complete with our operating crew of all 30-year-olds, is a special nod to the three decades we’ve had in making this ‘generation easyJet’. Whether it’s a first trip abroad, a spontaneous weekend city break, a chance to reconnect with family and friends, or making that all important business meeting, easyJet has been there for some of life’s most important journeys and we’re excited about what the next 30 years will bring.”
