EasyJet Holidays division delivers £84m profit despite group profit fall

EasyJet Holidays delivered a profit of £84m.
Group pre-tax profit fell 70pc to £85m.
Fuel expenses added £105m to quarterly costs.
Passenger volume dipped to 25.8m.
The carrier has sold 68pc of total airline capacity.

EasyJet Holidays delivered a profit of £84m for the three months ending 30 June 2026, while easyJet’s group pre-tax profit fell 70pc to £85m from £286m last year. The package holiday division single-handedly generated £84m of that profit. Surging fuel expenses added an extra £105m to quarterly operational costs.

Passenger volume dipped slightly to 25.8m. Geopolitical tensions from the Middle East conflict disrupted regional flight schedules and weakened consumer confidence. Unhedged fuel liabilities left the airline exposed as metric tonne prices peaked near $1,800 in April. Shares experienced volatility following a £5.7bn takeover offer from Apollo Global Management.

Late booking demand caused the stock to rally up to 8pc following the report. The budget carrier has sold 68pc of total airline capacity for the current peak quarter. Management noted that travelers are shifting back toward booking peak summer flights further in advance. The airline employs approximately 3,000 staff across its operations.
