Holiday bookings hit by 'unanswered questions' on Brexit, easyJet warns

Easyjet has warned that 'unanswered questions surrounding Brexit' are weakening demand as it heads into its key summer trading period. Shares in the low-cost airline fell 9% after it said it was now 'more cautious' about its expected financial performance in the key second half of its financial year from now until the end of September. Chief executive Johan Lundgren said the carrier was operationally well-prepared for Britain's departure from the European Union but that it was seeing 'softness' in the market in both the UK and Europe.
