Airline to run 20% of flights for rest of 2020 but says vaccine news has boosted bookings
EasyJet has slumped to a £1.3bn full-year loss, the first in its 25-year history, but said bookings had been boosted by positive news on Covid-19 vaccines.
Johan Lundgren, the airline’s chief executive, said sales had surged by 50% last week, compared with the prior week, after the US drugmaker Pfizer and the German biotech firm BioNTech announced their coronavirus vaccine.
