The low-cost airline easyJet said the latest virus restrictions in England and continental Europe had forced it to expand its already scheduled flight schedule.
On Friday, he said he no longer expected to fly more than 20% of what was planned for the rest of the year.
He said he continued to target “cash generation flights” during the winter season to minimize losses, after forecasting a low capacity for the rest of the quarter.
EasyJet said it would maintain its flexibility to allow it to develop capacity once it sees a setback in demand.
Its most recent capacity forecast is a drop in optimism, as it has degraded the capacity plan by 25% last month.
Ryanair, the cheap airline’s rival, said it expected to have a flight capacity of 40% during the same period.
The abrupt resumption of air continues to put pressure on the airline’s finances.
In the same update to shareholders on Friday, easyJet said it had raised 130. 7 million pounds with the sale and sale with subsequent lease of 11 two-part aircraft.
The organization secured 96 million pounds through the sale of 10 A320 aircraft from its relatives circle to ACS Aero 2 Beta Limited, with the aircraft leased for an average of 58 months.
It also sold an A320 circle of related aircraft to JLPS Holdings Ireland for £ 34. 7 million.
Last month, easyJet raised about three hundred million pounds as a component of a separate sales and retro-lease agreement to shore up its finances.
The organization has raised about 900 million pounds through agreements this year, as well as nearly six hundred million pounds through the Rescue Programs of the British government Covid and about 400 million pounds through a percentage placement.
EasyJet now maintains a fleet of 141 whoath-owned aircraft, representing approximately 41% of its total fleet.
