EasyJets financial year runs from October-September so the 10 they talk about in FY2020 were aircraft due between now and September 30th. A321neo OE-ISE was meant to arrive on the 8th so I’m guessing it is built but not sure if it is already paid for. Below is the fleet growth plan from last years financial report. There are currently 337 aircraft in easyJets fleet today. With no deliveries and up to 24 A319s being returned over the next 16 months the fleet could end up around 313 by the end of FY21 instead of the 330 frames listed. Look at the minimum fleet line as that’s more likely where the company is headed and in fact could go well below it.
There is a trading update from the company on April 16th. It may have more information on future fleet allocation.
