After Switzerland, the low-cost airline Easyjet will also launch its own tour operator Easyjet Holidays in Germany. CEO Johan Lundgren announced this on Thursday, October 26, 2023 in Berlin.
We have been successfully operating as a tour operator in the United Kingdom for several years. A few weeks ago it was announced that this business area would also be expanded to Switzerland, where it has a subsidiary airline with its own AOC. But it doesn't stop there, because people in the Federal Republic also want to sell their own package holidays in the future.
“I am very pleased to announce the planned launch of EasyJet Holidays in Germany today. The success of EasyJet Golidays in the UK has shown us that customers value quality and comfort when planning their holiday. With our in-house holiday packages we set ourselves apart from other airlines in Germany. “I am confident that our offerings will provide travelers in Germany with an unparalleled holiday experience, supported by the quality and value that EasyJet is known for,” said CEO Johan Lundgren.
Although the managing director made a clear commitment to Germany and the base that is maintained at Berlin-Brandenburg Airport, he criticized the high airport fees in the Federal Republic. “We experienced a record summer across our network this year, despite a challenging operational environment. Our commitment to the capital region is clear: EasyJet is Berlin's home airline! But even though we have managed a successful turnaround at BER, we have to acknowledge that the costs of the German aviation industry are still unpleasantly high. We have seen significant increases in air traffic taxes, air traffic control and security levies, and overall high infrastructure costs. These issues are at the top of our agenda,” said Lundgren.
