10 Temmuz 2026BBC News

EasyJet has accepted a £5.7 billion takeover bid from the US private equity firm Apollo, surpassing an earlier offer from Castlelake. This move marks a significant shift in the airline's ownership and strategic direction.
The deal is expected to reshape EasyJet's operations and financial outlook in the competitive aviation market.
The airline industry has faced unprecedented challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a wave of consolidation and investment from private equity firms. EasyJet's decision to accept Apollo's bid reflects the ongoing restructuring efforts within the sector as companies seek stability and growth.
The acceptance of Apollo's bid signals a strategic pivot for EasyJet, as it aligns with the growing trend of private equity firms investing in distressed assets within the travel sector. This acquisition could provide EasyJet with the necessary capital and expertise to navigate post-pandemic recovery challenges.
