(From an email sent by easyJet)

From today, easyJet and Go will merge to create Europe's number one low-cost airline. The formal details of the GBP 374 million transaction have been completed and the airlines will now work towards operating and acting as single airline under the easyJet brand.

This deal is great news for consumers as it will make easyJet Europe's largest low-cost airline. It is this scale that is important. Europe is a land of opportunity for low-cost airlines, and the new easyJet will be in a position to bring low-cost flights to more people on more routes more quickly.

Initially customers will notice very little difference: both airlines will continue to operate separately until December 2002, and there will be no changes to customers' booking terms and conditions for flights up until the end of the winter flying programme, in March 2003.

As you've registered to receive easyJet email updates, we'll bring you all the latest news about the new easyJet, and the opportunities that the merging of both airlines will bring.
