Ray Webster, easyJet Chief Executive, said:



"December was a good month for easyJet with our load factor up strongly compared
to December 2002. This increase highlights once more the robustness of the
easyJet business model and our ability to meet the public's demand for the
lowest prices to the most convenient airports."





1.             Represents the number of earned seats flown. Earned seats include
seats that are flown whether or not the passenger turns up because easyJet is a
no-refund airline, and once a flight has departed a no-show customer is
generally not entitled to change flights or seek a refund. Earned seats also
include seats provided for promotional purposes and to staff for business
travel.

2.             Represents the number of passengers as a proportion of the number
of seats available for passengers. No weighting of the load factor is carried
out to recognise the effect of varying flight (or "stage") lengths.
