EASYJET SPOKESMAN CONFIRMS ITS FARES ARE HIGHER THAN RYANAIR’S
(BUT FAILS TO MENTION THEY ARE 50% HIGHER)


Ryanair, Europe’s No. 1 low fares airline today (23rd June) thanked Easyjet for its confirmation that its fares are higher than Ryanair’s.

Peter Sherrard, Ryanair’s Head of Communications said:

“Easyjet can’t match Ryanair’s fares and can’t match Ryanair’s on-time performance, however it is clear they have forgotten just how far behind they have fallen, so the figures below should remind them.

“Easyjet’s fares are not just “slightly higher” than Ryanair’s. They are a full 50% higher as the latest published company information confirms. For on-time performance too, Easyjet lags far behind. Ryanair has beaten Easyjet’s on-time performance every single week since 2003. Yes, that is every week for more than 3 and a half years.

“Ryanair delivers the lowest fares and best on-time performance so Easyjet should not be surprised if Ryanair carries more passengers and flies to more airports. Maybe they are having trouble keeping up (Ryanair does carry 5M more passengers than Easyjet p.a.), but if they need a hand with spelling the airports we fly to, here are two to start with, L-U-T-O-N and S-T-A-N-S-T-E-D”.
