Key facts
History
The airline was established on 18 July 2017 and started operations on 20 July 2017, with the first flight being an Airbus A320 (re-registered as OE-IVA, previously G-EZPA) flying from London Luton Airport to Vienna International Airport.The airline was established following the UK referendum vote to leave the European Union and the airline's decision to obtain an Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) in another EU member state in order to continue operating flights across and within European countries after the UK leaves the EU.
Many aircraft previously registered to EasyJet UK were reregistered to EasyJet Europe, and those staff employed by EasyJet UK but based elsewhere in the European Union transferred to EasyJet Europe. EasyJet announced that it was planning to re-register 110 aircraft to fly under the new AOC of EasyJet Europe by March 2019.
EasyJet is thus a pan-European airline group with three airlines based in the UK, Austria and Switzerland (EasyJet UK, EasyJet Europe, and EasyJet Switzerland), with the brand owned by EasyJet plc, based in the UK and listed on the London Stock Exchange. The division into separate companies was triggered by Brexit and the regulations of the EU, which specify that an airline must be based in an EU nation and primarily owned by an entity from the EU to qualify as domestic European carrier. This requirement is satisfied by the significant ownership held by EasyJet founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou and his family, who hold Greek-Cypriot citizenship.
On 30 March 2019, flights became operated by EasyJet Europe under their own flight numbers and callsign.
