The figures come from EasyJet ahead of a busy summer. 

One of the UK's biggest airlines says bookings for flights are exceeding pre-pandemic levels.

EasyJet says more flights have been booked over the past six weeks compared to the same time in 2019.

The airline is Europe's second-biggest discount carrier behind Ryanair.

However, they are one of several operators faced with challenges due to the pandemic.

The airline expects to take losses of upwards of 500 million pounds for the six months to the end of March.

It's recently been cancelling dozens of flights a day because of staff shortages, caused by Covid-19.

EasyJet and larger rival British Airways have had to cancel flights over the Easter holiday period.

The other major challenge has been fuel prices, which have surged since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
