Budget airline Easyjet (LON:EZJ) is expecting to have its busiest ever day today (Friday) with more than 255,000 passengers due to travel across its network.
Almost 150,000 of those travelling will be flying into or out of UK airport, the firm said.
To cope with this demand, Easyjet said it will operate more than 1,600 flights today.
“September has always been one of our busiest times of the year and this year will be no exception,” said the airline’s UK director Sophie Dekkers.
“Every year, more and more people choose easyJet to take them on their late summer getaways or for business trips and this year has broken records once again.”
Malaga, Athens and Gibraltar are among the most popular destinations as people try to grab the last of the summer sun.
Founded by Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou back in 1995, easyJet now serves more than 820 routes across more than 30 countries.
