EasyJet shared a record pre-tax profit of over £203 million (more than $260 million) for the past three months until the end of June.
This revenue achievement exceeded the assumptions made by analysts.
Ongoing protests in Europe, such as strikes by air traffic control managers in France and Gatwick airport ground employees' planned action in London.
Aside from EasyJet, experts are now predicting that other airline competitors will also share their strong earnings for the past quarter.
These details are a clear sign that the demand for travel after the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic is finally soaring.
Numerous analysts forecasted that rise in bookings will continue until winter.
