Low cost airline numbers continue to grow
Low-cost airline partners Easyjet and Go have announced increases in passenger numbers for the month of June.
Easyjet said it carried 958,857 passengers, an increase of 51.5% compared with last year, and 6% higher than in May, while Go reported a 71.8% increase in passenger number to 550,749.
These latest figures are sure to please Easyjet management who are in the process of taking over Go in a £374m ($567.7m) deal.
The Easyjet and Go figures followed news on Thursday that Dublin-based Ryanair had carried 1.25 million passengers in June, up 34% on a year ago.
However, while the low cost airline business continues to boom, UK national carrier, British Airways, announced a big drop in passenger traffic figures earlier in the week.
