easyJet, the UK’s largest low-fares airline, was last night recognised as the Best No Frills Airline and Best Economy Class at the British Travel Awards, by voters in the UK’s largest and most prestigious awards programme.

The British Travel Awards, considered as the “Oscars” of the travel industry, received votes from over 90,000 of the travelling public.

Paul Simmons, easyJet’s UK regional general manager commented:
“To be voted the best Low Fares Airline for yet another year is a welcome reinforcement of how the public see easyJet. But even more special this year was the additional recognition of being voted as providing the Best Economy Class. In this category we were voted ahead of the usual suspects - the so called Legacy Airlines. And it shows just how main stream we now are. It must be worrying times for the high cost dinosaurs".
