Founded in 1995, low-cost carrier easyJet has established itself among the most significant airlines based in the United Kingdom by passenger numbers. In 2022, EasyJet boarded roughly 36.9 million passengers in the UK, continuing to rank first among airlines in terms of passenger numbers in the UK.

The main effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have been gradually diminishing in both the global aviation industry and the British aviation sector. However, recently, the sector has faced various challenges, such as labor shortages and airport strikes, and these problems have led to additional disruptions for passengers and a decrease in the satisfaction levels of travelers. Moreover, the cost of flying has substantially increased in the country, with the consumer price index rising by nearly 16 percent in 2023 compared to the previous year. Despite passengers' growing dissatisfaction with the flight experiences and escalating fares the British aviation industry was expected to sustain its revenue growth in the coming years.
