The national operation recorded a growth of around 8% in 2024 bookings compared to the previous year, as well as an occupancy rate of more than 90%, among the highest in the entire network.

“These results demonstrate the efficiency of the airline’s management in adapting its offer and achieving high passenger involvement”, said easyJet in a statement announcing the results for the 2024 financial year, also highlighting that “the solid occupancy rate reflects a strong market position, customer loyalty and easyJet’s ongoing commitment to improving its passenger experience.”

During this fiscal year, easyJet added nine new routes, operating a total of 100 routes, to and from Portugal. In October 2023, connections began from Porto to Marakesh and from Lisbon to Copenhagen and Agadir. The following month it was the company's turn to connect Porto to Pisa and Geneva to Funchal to begin flights between Basel and Funchal in December. In April this year, it was Bordeaux's turn to connect with Funchal, and, in June, flights began between Faro and Southampton, and in July there was a connection between the island of Menorca and Porto.

Looking ahead to the 2025 fiscal year, since October, easyJet has started to offer new routes to Cape Verde, with flights twice a week, from Lisbon and Porto. These were the first routes to sub-Saharan Africa in the company's history.

For 2025, easyJet has already announced that from June 2nd it will provide a direct connection between Madeira and Luton (London), with a frequency of twice a week. From April 1st, easyJet will make it possible to connect, non-stop, between the Algarve and Switzerland, through Faro and Zurich airports, with flight frequencies twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays.

easyJet reveals that it intends to increase the number of planes in the coming years, planning to end 2025 with 356 planes. For 2026, 2027 and 2028, forecasts indicate that the respective exercises will end with 368, 381 and 395 aircraft.

Kenton Jarvis, CFO and CEO designate of easyJet, who will replace Johan Lundgren, said in a statement that “the outlook for easyJet is positive and travel remains a priority, with consumers valuing our low fares, our network and our service.”

In conclusion, it says the airline “will continue to grow, particularly on longer and more popular leisure routes, such as North Africa and the Canary Islands”, noting that easyJet plans to “take 25% more customers on package holidays as easyJet holidays continue to thrive”.
