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.

Capital.com is one of the best stock trading platforms I’ve used. The UX and UI on both the mobile app and web platform are outstanding, making it incredibly easy to navigate. They’ve built a vibrant community of traders and investors, and their UAE team really stands out for delivering an exceptional trading experience.

Great app! I requested some features to be added, such as analysis tools, and they delivered. Amazing job! The agents are always helpful and reply quickly. It’s not 5 stars because, at times, some less experienced agents may say it’s impossible to fulfill the request or fix the problem while another agent, like Angel, quickly escalated the issue to the necessary team/person/department and resolved it

This is an excellent platform. The stop loss and take profit work very well; however, when the changes are very fast like at the beginning of the session, the stop loss does not work. If this defect is corrected it will be the perfect platform.

Efficiency. When creating the account, it was smooth, efficient from start to finish. Verification of documents also was done the same day, unlike other platforms where you have to wait a day or two.
