De Raeymaeker will be replacing Kenton Jarvis, who, in turn, will succeed Johan Lundgren as CEO on 1 January.

“I am delighted that Jan will be joining easyJet in January 2025. Jan brings with him a deep knowledge of the transport and airline sector, which we believe will be of significant benefit to easyJet going forward, and his financial and commercial acumen will be critical as we continue to build towards the delivery of our medium-term targets and our purpose of making low-cost travel easy. I look forward to working closely with him,” said Kenton Jarvis, Chief Executive Designate.
