Easyjet revenues boosted by Air France strike

[mhm]

Shares in Easyjet have risen after the airline said it had benefited from a strike at Air France, as passengers switched to the no-frills carrier.

Easyjet says the strike has boosted its revenue by about £5m.

Combined with a strong end to the financial year, the airline has also lifted its profit forecast.

It now expects pre-tax profit for the year to 30 September to be between £575m and £580m, up from previous guidance of £545m to £570m.
