Product Description
EasyJet has always been a colorful enterprise, thanks to both its charismatic and self-promoting Greek founder, Stelios Haji-Ioannou, and its bright orange planes and publicity material. Beginning as a modest operation flying a couple of elderly, leased 737s between Luton and Glasgow, it is now one of the biggest airlines in Europe and has led the way in web-based ticket sales. This is a full account of easyJet's business success, the flamboyant stunts it has used to gain an advantage on its competitors, and the wider social changes its cheap flights have brought about.
