1. Represents the number of earned seats flown. Earned seats include
seats that are flown whether or not the passenger turns up because easyJet is a
no-refund airline, and once a flight has departed a no-show customer is
generally not entitled to change flights or seek a refund. Earned seats also
include seats provided for promotional purposes and to staff for business
travel.
2. Represents the number of passengers as a proportion of the number
of seats available for passengers. No weighting of the load factor is carried
out to recognise the effect of varying flight (or "stage") lengths.
