EasyJet on course after Go buy

EASYJET planes flew more than four-fifths full in July, despite a 75% increase in capacity over the past year following the acquisition of Go.

The load factor - how many seats are occupied - was 85.6% in July, only slightly down on the 87.9% of last July. EasyJet carried almost 1.9m passengers in the month, slightly less than rival Ryanair's two million.
