Planes 100% safe says EasyJet boss

EASYJET’S boss has insisted he would “feel 100% safe” on packed planes as the airline restarts operations for the first time in 11 weeks.

Chief executive Johan Lundgren told the PA news agency that the Luton-based carrier took guidance from international regulators to develop an enhanced safety and hygiene regime ahead of its resumption of flights yesterday.

Passengers and crew have to wear masks, and aircraft are regularly deep-cleaned.
