EasyJet says bookings have taken off following statements earlier this month to loosen restrictions on foreign travel.
The budget airline said it enjoyed significant growth in demand after the Government relaxed curbs on pre-departure testing earlier this month and declared on Monday that testing rules on fully-vaccinated travellers would end from mid-February.
On-sale capacity for the upcoming summer holiday season is now close to pre-pandemic volumes compared to just over two-thirds for the current quarter, according to the group.

Revival: EasyJet said bookings improved after the UK Government declared in early January that pre-departure testing would be lifted for fully-vaccinated travellers and under-18s

He adds: 'We see a strong summer ahead, with pent up demand that will see easyJet returning to near 2019 levels of capacity with UK beach and leisure routes performing particularly well.
'We remain confident that EasyJet will continue to win customers and are excited about our plans for the summer as we identify further opportunities at our key bases which, alongside our step-changed ancillary offering, will deliver strong, sustainable shareholder returns.'
EasyJet's trading update comes the day after fellow low-cost airline Wizz Air revealed its business had been hurt by the Omicron variant and renewed travel restrictions.
