INVESTING IN OUR STRENGTHS - easyJet

1 Annual report and accounts 2016 INVESTING IN OUR STRENGTHS ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 20162016 has been a year of uncertainty. The aviation industry in particular has faced many challenges: low oil prices and interest rates; the continuing impact of terrorism; the decision for the UK to exit the European Union; and increased market capacity sustained by a low fuel price, have all contributed significantly to the position of our business today. However, in these unpredictable times easyJet has continued to pursue its strategy for disciplined growth and long-term shareholder value. This year we have made considerable investments in our business. We have further strengthened the network, continued to invest in projects to deliver customer benefits and cost savings and reinforced the balance sheet.
