 easyJet PLC reported a significant reduction in losses in the first quarter to end-December 2021, although bookings were impacted by the introduction of new travel restrictions at the end of the period following the emergence of the Omicron variant of coronavirus. However, booking volumes have increased since the UK government in early January removed pre-departure COVID-19 testing and are expected to rise further following the recent announcement that all UK restrictions on travel will be scrapped from 11 February, the airline said in a trading update.
