Easyjet investors have said they are holding out for at least £600m more from Castlelake, whose bids have been brushed off by the budget airline.

Private equity firm Castlelake has called on investors in Easyjet to lobby the budget airline to accept its third takeover offer.

Castlelake put forward a third approach to acquire easyJet on June 20 worth 625p a share, but said this was rejected on June 21.
