Bellew, who joined from low-cost rival Ryanair Holdings in 2019, will be succeeded as interim COO by David Morgan, who has filled the role on a temporary basis previously, easyJet said on Monday. EasyJet said it remains focused on improving daily operations after contending with a three-day walkout in Spain, with two more set to follow later this month. It has also reined in summer capacity at London Gatwick and Amsterdam Schiphol, its two biggest bases, amid a labour shortage.
While the carrier has ramped up capacity more cautiously than Ryanair and Europe’s third main discounter, Wizz Air, the aircraft fleet at Gatwick has been expanded by more than a quarter compared with the pre-Covid peak in 2019, putting particular pressure on recruitment there.
