Welcome to our 15th birthday issue Bienvenido/Bienvenue/Benvenuto/Willkommen THIS IS A very special month for all of us at easyJet. On 10 November we celebrate the 15th anniversary of our airline. It’s amazing to think just how far we have come since that fi rst fl ight from Luton to Glasgow in 1995. We started with one plane and a small but enthusiastic team. Today we have a fl eet of 190 aircraft and employ over 6,000 people across the UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Spain. When Stelios founded easyJet, low fares were a revolutionary concept. easyJet changed the airline industry forever. Initially, we introduced inexpensive fl ights to the UK but with the help of our people and our customers, we have grown to become Europe’s leading low fares airline. Today we fl y 50 million passengers a year across 540 routes and 29 countries in one of the world’s newest fl eets. The average age of our planes is three-and-a-half years young. As you know, we are proud to provide the lowest fares to the most convenient airports, while giving a warm and friendly service. You tell us you like our service and transparent pricing as it lets you see exactly what a fl ight will cost. For our part, we hope to exceed your expectations. We come from the standpoint that low fares should not mean a compromise on customer service. Going forward, our aim is to further enhance the easyJet experience so that fl ying is easier – from the moment you get to the airport, to the journey itself and arriving at your destination. We want to constantly improve what we do and you can help us by giving me your ideas on how we can do things better. Please email me personally at carolyn@easyJet.com. My thanks to all of you who have supported us over the last 15 years. We look forward to serving you over the next 15 and, with your help, continuing to “Paint Europe Orange”! Este mes es muy especial para easyJet, puesto que el 10 de noviembre de 2010 celebraremos el 15º aniversario de nuestra aerolínea. Impresiona ver hasta dónde hemos llegado desde nuestro primer vuelo de Luton a Glasgow en 1995. Comenzamos con un avión y ahora disponemos de 190 aviones y empleamos más de 6.000 personas. Cuando Stelios fundo easyJet, fue una gran innovación, ya que cambió la manera de ver los viajes cortos. Creamos el concepto de los vuelos de bajo coste al Reino Unido y, con la colaboración de todos los empleados de easyJet y, naturalmente, de vosotros, nuestros clientes, hemos crecido hasta convertirnos en una aerolínea europea que transporta a más de 50 millones de pasajeros al año por más de 540 rutas en 29 países diferentes. Mirando al futuro, somos conscientes de que nuestro servicio jugará un papel incluso más importante. Con la fi rme intención de continuar mejorando la experiencia de volar con easyJet, siempre agradeceremos vuestra opinión para ayudarnos a mejorar. Podéis enviarme un mensaje de correo electrónico a carolyn@easyJet.com. Muchas gracias a todos por vuestro apoyo durante los últimos 15 años. Esperamos volver a daros la bienvenida a bordo y que nos continuéis ayudando a “teñir Europa de naranja”. Questo è un mese veramente speciale per tutti noi di easyJet. Il 10 novembre 2010, infatti, la compagnia compie 15 anni! È meraviglioso pensare a quanta strada abbiamo percorso da quel primo volo da Luton a Glasgow nel 1995. Quando Stelios inventò easyJet, ci fu una rivoluzione nel modo di viaggiare delle persone. Abbiamo inizialmente introdotto il concetto di voli low cost nel Regno Unito e poi, con l’aiuto di tutti coloro che lavorano in easyJet, ma soprattutto grazie a voi passeggeri, siamo cresciuti costantemente fi no a diventare la compagnia low-fares leader in Europa. Attualmente trasportiamo quasi 50 milioni di passeggeri ogni anno, e offriamo 540 collegamenti in 29 paesi diversi. I nostri 15 anni di attività segnano un traguardo, ma anche un nuovo punto di inizio. L’obiettivo di easyJet è infatti quello di acquisire ancora più esperienza, dimostrandosi sempre più aperta nei confronti delle esigenze e delle opinioni dei passeggeri. Potete inviarci i vostri commenti all’indirizzo e-mail carolyn@easyJet.com. Ringraziamo tutti coloro che in 15 anni non hanno mai smesso di credere in noi, e ci auguriamo di vedervi numerosi a bordo dei nostri aerei per continuare, con il vostro aiuto, a “dipingere l’Europa di arancione”! Ce mois-ci est un mois très spécial pour nous tous chez easyJet. Le 10 novembre 2010, nous célébrons notre 15ème anniversaire. Quel chemin parcouru depuis le premier vol entre GREETINGS | ENJOY THE FLIGHT WE ARE 15 Londres Luton et Glasgow en 1995 ! La création d’easyJet par Stelios fut une réelle innovation, qui bouleversa les habitudes des voyageurs en Europe.

November 2010 feiert unsere Fluggesellschaft ihren 15. Geburtstag. Es ist ganz unglaublich, wie weit wir seit diesem ersten Flug von Luton nach Glasgow 1995 gekommen sind. Als Stelios easyJet gründete, war dies eine echte Innovation. easyJet veränderte die Art und Weise der Menschen zu reisen. Zunächst führten wir das Konzept günstiger Flüge in Großbritannien ein, und mit der Hilfe aller easyJet-Mitarbeiter und natürlich von Ihnen, unseren Kunden, sind wir zu einer wahrhaft europäischen Fluggesellschaft angewachsen, die jährlich fast 50 Millionen Passagiere auf 540 Strecken in 29 Ländern befördert. Es ist uns klar, dass beim Schritt in die nächsten 15 Jahre unser Service noch viel wichtiger sein wird. Es ist unser Ziel, das easyJet-Erlebnis noch weiter zu verbessern, und wir freuen uns immer, Ihre Meinung dazu zu hören. Sie können mir eine Mail schicken an carolyn@easyJet.com.
