A stellar performance for easyJet holidays packages has boosted parent company easyJet’s 2025 profits.
The group has recorded a 9% rise in headline pre-tax profits, to £665 million for the full year to 30 September.
Strong demand for easyJet holidays led to a surge in annual earnings for the package operation of 32%, to £250m, resulting in the division hitting its target early.
The group has now increased easyJet holidays’ earnings target to £450m by the end of 2030.
EasyJet holidays says it now plans to increase its customer base by 15% next year on the back of a 20% increase this year.
The operator carried 3.09m customers this year, a 20% increase on 2024’s full-year figure of 2.57m. Of those, 2.7m were direct bookings, up from 2.26m last year.
EasyJet holidays said: “As the holidays business moves into the next phase of growth, targeted investments will be made to strengthen the customer base as we increase the attachment rate on both beach and city destinations.
“The business continues to expand its brand awareness through accessing new customers via other channels such as our partnership with Tesco Clubcard and the launch of the new luxury proposition in October 2025.”
Headline profit for the airline dropped to £415m from £420m the previous year, although easyJet CEO Kenton Jarvis said: “We are well placed to seize the significant opportunities ahead, and we are confident in achieving our medium-term goal of delivering over £1 billion in profit before tax.”
He said: “Since setting our medium-term targets in 2023 we have made significant progress, delivering a 46% improvement in profit before tax, adding 9% this year through the continued, successful execution of our strategy. easyJet holidays is today launching an even more ambitious goal having achieved its target early.
“Having recently celebrated our 30th birthday, I am proud of what easyJet has achieved. Very few companies remain as close to their roots as easyJet – making travel easy and affordable while contributing significantly to economic growth through increased connectivity, consumer choice and jobs.
