EasyJet shareholders rewarded with £308m dividend handout

[viking9]

Low-cost airline easyJet is to hand £308million worth of dividends to investors as it shares the spoils of a bumper profits haul. The carrier's annual earnings soared 51 per cent after efforts to attract more business travellers paid off and it flew more than 60million passengers for the first time. The Luton-based carrier hailed the success of recent initiatives, such as allocated seating and fast-track security, for boosting its popularity with more affluent, older fliers and business passengers.
