Easyjet's chief executive has today called on the government to provide details of how it will relax its current border restrictions in order to give people the confidence to travel again.

Budget airline easyJet said this morning that it hopes to carry nearly as many passengers in the last few months of this year as it did in 2019, marking a comeback from the lows of the pandemic.

The business said that it is planning to sell 97% of the seats during the final quarter than it did pre-pandemic.
