easyJet is saddened to hear of the death of John Barton, who very
recently stepped down as Chairman of the Company on 1 December after a
tenure of almost nine years.

Johan Lundgren, Chief Executive, said:

"I am truly shocked and extremely saddened to hear of John's passing. I
was very fortunate to have worked closely with him over
the years and benefited greatly from his wise counsel. He was a man of
huge integrity who was very much liked and respected by everyone across
the airline. On behalf of all of his former
colleagues at easyJet, we send our heartfelt sympathies to John's family
at this time. He will be greatly missed."

Stephen Hester, Chair of easyJet, said:

"John was a distinguished Chair and made an outstanding contribution to the
Company during his tenure. He was also a wonderful human being. On behalf of
the Board, I would like to extend our deepest sympathies to John's family at
this difficult time."
