EasyJet`s press office has rejected recent Greek reports stating its chairman Stelios Hadji-ioannou has voiced interest in acquiring OA.
In an e-mail sent to TDN, easyJet states that neither easyGroup company nor Hadji-ioannou have shown even the slightest interest in the purchase of OA nor cooperation or other involvement with the carrier. Indeed, in every press conference Hadji-ioannou has given before Greek and other media, he has stated I wouldn`t even take Olympic for free!, the e-mail stated.
EasyJet is proceeding with its expansion programme and has signed an order for 32 new Boeing 737-700 aircraft.
