EasyJet will take delivery of its first A321neo in July 2018, which is expected to deliver an 8-9% cost per seat saving compared to an A320neo, primarily due to their 235-seat configuration.

Re: easyJet in 2017
Condor will wet lease aircraft to easyJet from January 2018 for at least four months, complementing two easyJet aircraft on German domestic routes out of Berlin Tegel taken over from Air Berlin. Do you follow?

Easy (pun intended) to follow, no?
EasyJet needs to recruit and train 300 former Air Berlin pilots, whilst this is done they need a wetlease to start Tegel operations.

EasyJet is set to win unconditional EU antitrust approval to buy parts of failed Air Berlin, including some of its operations at Berlin Tegel, for around EUR40 million. It will also take on leases for up to 25 A320s, and about 1,000 pilots and cabin crew.
