For the first time ever, easyJet, the largest low-cost airline in the United Kingdom
and soon to be the largest in Europe, is collecting three new Boeing
Next-Generation 737 jetliners in one month. Boeing is delivering the three
airplanes, shown here together at Boeing Field in Seattle, to easyJet over a
12-day period in June. The airline, which is modeled after low-fare carrier
Southwest Airlines in the United States, has only 737s in its fleet.
easyJet, which has been growing at about 40 percent a year, recently announced plans to
expand further -- with the acquisition of two airlines -- Go Fly and Deutsche BA.
