After that disaster Easyjet bought their own rigs.
Thoughts from a fading memory. Reeds used to do easyjet’s handling including check-in. Easyjet then brought everything in-house and self-handled with the exception of aircraft de-icing and the boarding of disabled passengers using the ambilift. After the de-icing fiasco easyjet also did their own de-icing with a fleet of orange de-icing trucks. Easyjet then outsourced handling to Menzies Aviation Group. Well that’s how I remember events. Not sure now whether Menzies does the de-icing or not or they in turn outsource it to a third party.
