This achievement was supported by a nine per cent growth in earnings, resulting in a headline profit before tax of £665 million for the year.
The airline now plans to base a 20th aircraft at Bristol Airport from summer 2026, supporting around 400 jobs.
Additionally five new routes, to Bari, Cape Verde, Reus, Seville and Thessaloniki will launch next summer from Bristol.
Kevin Doyle, easyJet UK country manager, said: “easyJet’s continued success in the southwest is a clear testament to the continued popularity of our flights and holidays, with a record six million customers choosing us in our 2025 financial year for our trusted brand, unrivalled network and great value fares.
“The growth of our fleet with an additional neo aircraft in Bristol will not only support around 400 jobs but is enabling us to further unlock the opportunity of the demand that we see for both leisure and business travel.”
The airline’s holiday packages to Majorca, Costa Blanca and Tenerife were the top destinations for holidaymakers from Bristol in 2025, while Amsterdam, Krakow and Paris were popular city break destinations.
Rupert Lawrie, commercial director at Bristol Airport, said: “Through our long-term partnership with easyJet, customers have benefited from a variety of destination choices, enabling them to fly direct from their local airport.
“These routes have also helped to connect family and friends as well as support local tourism.
“Having a 20th aircraft based at Bristol Airport is a great addition, as it will provide more jobs for local people and is a welcome boost for the local economy.”
Since launching operations at Bristol in May 2001, easyJet has carried over 80 million customers.
Following the launch of easyJet holidays’ summer 2026 season, beach holidays and city escapes are on sale right up to the end of October 2026.
easyJet serves 22 UK airports, offering more than 630 routes to 140 destinations from the UK to Europe and beyond.
