Passengers flown increased by 4.6% to 4.8 million in December, this strong performance is despite the predicted reduction in bookings in the weeks following the terrorist attacks in Paris. easyJet is France's second largest airline and around 23% of the airline's capacity during December was on French touching routes and as a consequence the load factor fell by 1.8ppt to 86.6%.
Load factors are now recovering to normal levels and management do not anticipate any change to full year market expectations.

1. Represents the number of earned seats flown. Earned seats include seats that are flown whether or not the passenger turns up because easyJet is a no-refund airline, and once a flight has departed a no-show customer is generally not entitled to change flights or seek a refund. Earned seats also include seats provided for promotional purposes and to staff for business travel.
2. Represents the number of passengers as a proportion of the number of seats available for passengers. No weighting of the load factor is carried out to recognise the effect of varying flight (or "stage") lengths.
