easyJet has today announced that 30% of its operation will transition to a new airline - easyJet Europe - to be registered in Austria. This 30% represents the existing mainland EU operation and associated aircraft. The move in itself safeguards the EU to EU domestic flights post-Brexit. The new airline will become a subsidiary of easyJet UK.
New jobs will be created in head office roles within Austria to support the business and 30% of easyJet UK's fleet is to transition to the new business in time for the UK leaving Europe. All UK based jobs will remain unaffected. Aircraft themselves are not to be repositioned to Austria as part of this.
Note, It is not yet known how this will affect eventual cadet placement with easyJet and whether cadets will remain within the UK business or new Austrian business based on company needs. As an example, easyJet's other business easyJet Switzerland is an entirely separate legal entity and inter-company transfers aren't quite as simple.
