LONDON, Nov 17 (Reuters) - British airline easyJet experienced a "cooling off" in demand for travel to France afterthe Paris attacks on Friday which killed at least 129 people,but expects normal services to resume quickly, said its chiefexecutive.

"You will always see a cooling off period but you also seequite a quick resumption to travelling again," easyJet's ChiefExecutive Carolyn McCall told reporters on a call on Tuesday.

The airline said that there was an increase in the number ofpassengers who had booked to go to France but did not show upfor their flights over the weekend. easyJet has offeredcustomers who were booked for travel to Paris the chance todefer or change their tickets.

Regarding Egypt, where the airline has had to cancel flightsto the Sharm al-Sheikh resort after a British government warningover airport security, McCall said that that disruption wouldhave a "very, very small" effect on the company's full-yearoutcome.
