The Luton-based carrier last month achieved the milestone of flying 10 million business passengers over the past year, and hopes this will increase further after completing the roll-out of seat allocation.

EasyJet posted a 9.2% rise in revenues to £833m over the three months to the end of December after flying 13.7 million passengers, up 6.2% on a year earlier.
