Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, founder and owner of the easy family of brands (www.easy.com), has made a comment on the announcement by easyJet PLC released to the markets at 1618 on 9 April 2020.
Stelios comment at 1722h on the 9th of April 2020 :
I strongly believe the directors of easyJet are in breach of the market abuse regulations by not disclosing the payments made and to be made from easyJet to Airbus this year. They are not being transparent with their investors and they are putting at risk £600m of UK taxpayers’ money by paying Airbus during the next 6 months of zero revenues. I consider this to scandalous.
