Starting with 24 March, easyJet has reduced operational activities by 90%. And by default most aircraft remained on the ground. It continued to operate a number of strategic flights to / from the UK and repatriation flights.
However, as of March 30, the entire easyJet fleet is on the ground and no commercial flights are operating. The decision is based on travel restrictions imposed by the governments of European countries. EasyJet has a fleet of 337 all-Airbus aircraft. We see it all over the world bizarre images from airports - parked planes, empty airports.
