The company was founded in 1995 by Stelios Haji-Ioannou. In its early days, it had two leased Boeing 737-200 aircraft at its disposal, initially operating only from London Luton Airport to Glasgow and Edinburgh. In 1996, it got its first wholly-owned aircraft and started international flights – initially to Amsterdam.

In 1998, EasyJet bought a 40 per cent stake in Swiss airline TEA Basel, renaming it EasyJet Switzerland. In 2002, the company acquired Go Fly. During the same year, it opened a base at Gatwick Airport. Over the next four years, EasyJet opened additional bases in Spain, Italy, France and Germany, expanding its business in continental Europe. In 2017, the company announced it would open a new headquarters in Vienna, Austria, to allow the company continue operating flights within the EU after Brexit.

In 2019, it reported annual revenue of more than £6.38bn and net income of £349m. 

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, in March 2020, the company grounded its entire fleet of planes, subsequently closing three of their bases. In April, it secured a £600m coronavirus loan from the Bank of England’s Covid Corporate Finance Facility. In June, EasyJet announced its plans to resume flights on up to 75 per cent of its route network by the end of summer. In November, the company said it would only run a maximum of 20 per cent of planned flights for the rest of the year.

EasyJet plc shares started trading on the LSE in 2000. The company was included in the blue-chip FTSE 100 Index in 2013. In April 2015, the EasyJet (EZJ) stock price hit an all-time high of £19.16.

In February 2020, the EZJ share price rose to £15, its highest level since August 2018. However, as the UK introduced restrictions to slow the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, EasyJet stock fell to an eight-year low of £4.10 in April. After the airline had lost nearly 45 per cent of its value, it was excluded from the FTSE 100 in June.

EasyJet shares approached £9 in June as restrictions eased but dropped back to £5 with the second wave of Covid-19 halting the global travel. In early November, the stock hit £7 per share amid the news of a potentially viable coronavirus vaccine.

User friendly app & interface and good support team. Funds transfer ease & Leverage is an advantage but crypto is highly risky be responsible of your loss limits and risks appetite.
