EasyJet ha registrato perdite semestrali in aumento, mentre la guerra in Iran ha fatto salire i costi del carburante e frenato la domanda. La compagnia aerea avverte che prezzi elevati e prenotazioni estive deboli peseranno ancora, nonostante la forte crescita del ramo vacanze.

Easyjet has played down fears that a jet fuel crisis caused by the Middle East will rip through its low-cost model.

The group reported a half-year pre-tax loss of £552 million, which is in line with the range it gave in a trading update in April.
