The British company easyJet announced on Tuesday that it will launch a branch of organized package deals by Christmas 2020. The objective is to recover former Thomas Cook customers left untethered since the bankruptcy of the tour operator.
"The easyJet air network can be connected to more than 5,000 hotels in Europe," said Managing Director Johan Lundgren in an enthusiastic speech on the occasion of the company's results presentation.
