Easyjet’s outlook remains positive. The airline said it expects “market demand to remain strong” with it well placed "to capture significant value from favourable trends in both leisure and business markets."

Carolyn McCall, easyJet chief executive said: "Our outlook for the longer term is positive. We expect demand in our markets to be sustained and for easyJet to continue to be a winner in its markets.

She added: "We remain totally focused on our network advantage, digital leadership and offering our customers great low fares and service. We continue to invest in profitable growth, ensuring our digital advantage and giving our customer good value fares."

The airline clearly expects the good times to continue but it made no mention of how much of an impact events in Sharm el Sheikh will have on the business
