easyJet opens new head office at London Luton Airport

easyJet, Europe's leading low-fares airline, has opened the doors to its new head office at London Luton airport, Hanger 89. The former Britannia/TUI building is located just 150 metres from its current office, easyLand. Management and admin staff from the low-fares carrier will gradually make the move over the coming week.

Work began last year when the airline appointed Office Design and fit- out specialist Area Sq the £3.1 million refurbishment project for easyJet’s new Head Office at the Airport. H89 was built in 1974 and had kept its traditional 1970s office style, but it has now been customised to fit the easyJet open culture and principles of simplicity. The huge hangar has been painted in orange, the airline's corporate colour, with an open plan interior to reflect the airline's 'less is more' approach.

In addition to over 30,000 sq ft of office space, H89 can house three Airbus 319s/Boeing 737s at any one time, giving the airline much-needed hangar space at London Luton Airport. Consolidating the premises also means savings to the business, which ultimately will be passed on to the consumer.

Andy Harrison, easyJet CEO, said:

"This is a very exciting day for easyJet as we move to our new head office at London Luton airport. Our current building at easyLand has been a great start for the airline in its younger years but now it's time to move to Hanger 89 which will better serve the needs of the business.

“To see the hangar painted in easyJet's signature orange is a fabulous sight and I am certainly looking forward to making the move."
