Has EasyJet gone bust

[Dowser]

Friends told us they had and all flights cancelled from Tenerife
Other friend were flying home today with their disabled son
I am really worried for them

no but spain is locked down and britons were supposed leave by 2 days ago so ?? no idea

Not as far as I know. Hoping we get option to cancel internal flights in 10 days' time.

No, my DH is getting a flight in a couple of hours.

Don't believe so, my friend is stuck in Gran Canaria, has booked on a Ryanair flight next Mon to get her home and EasyJet are refunding the return part of her original fare

I think all foreign travel has been banned.

No but they have cancelled a lot of flights. I think flights out are largely cancelled but they are still bringing people home

Errrr..Nope, they have some aircraft airborne ATM (Tuesday PM) over parts of Europe

No or they'd have been delisted from the stockmarket. Their shares have lost about 2/3 of their value over the last month but they are still surviving.

Its really quite scary looking at their chart and that of most other companies at the moment.

Thank you
Friend in uk thought they had and worried my other friend wasn’t going to get home with disabled siphon as their website showed cancelled

They’ve cancelled all their flights

I have heard they are going to make people redundant - this is through a friend who works for them.

Not yet....

They have cancelled outgoing passenger flights but are bringing people back who are already abroad. So I believe.

Raab has just said that we're going to start repatriating people so she'll be brought home soon, I'd imagine.

No. All repatriation flights are being coordinated through the airlines (ds works for an airline) and they are prioritising those who have been waiting longest as well as taking account of lockdowns in different countries. Apparently it could be April before everyone is repatriated.

I hope so, my husband is stuck abroad.

The danger here is this becomes a self fulfilling rumour.

Easyjet announced several days ago they were grounding a large percentage of their fleet...

That said one look at Flight radar will show multiple Easyjet aircraft airborne right now, some on UK domestic routes, some on "internal" European routes or European domestic routes, e.g; over France , there's one just landed into Paris from the UK...so no, ATM, tea time Tuesday they have not "gone bust".

There are however issues into/out of some countries due to the various restrictions some nations are putting on entry, which means a lot, but not all of their flights, and other operators flights, are cancelled.

Tomorrow of course is another day.

200 jobs cut at LGW. Probably ground staff and trainee crew.

That's 200 airport employees not Easyjet staff.

Easy jet is flying today.
Heard one announced for Gatwick
We are presently stuck on the tarmac as we’ve missed our slot
Thanks to the Vienna plane passengers not getting to their plane quickly enough

I just saw several flights in the air on Flight Radar for Easyjet.

Well that made me look!
Had an email re winter flights this morning at no more than £30 each way but despite having some accommodation booked for Portugal in November we aren't going to book flights until much later in the day as who knows a. All the airlines may go bust before then and b. Everywhere could still be in lockdown.
Worrying times.

Hope you friend can get home soon.

"I have heard they are going to make people redundant - this is through a friend who works for them."

My friend works for them, she has been suspended without pay, as is allowed in her contract, for five times in a year. This is temporary. They expect us to go into lock down with flights only for essentials.

There has been redundancies in the airport that she works out of, though.
