easyJet helps Father Christmas sort out who is naughty or nice

easyJet pilots and crew will be flying children’s letters directly to Santa in Lapland this Christmas, as part of a new Europe-wide festive service. With around 200,000 families set to fly with easyJet during the festive season, the airline is installing special post boxes at its major airports across the UK and Europe this December.

Children Smiling

The service has been launched after new research revealed nearly three-quarters (71 percent) of children flying around the holidays this Christmas are worried that Santa won’t be able to find them.

From today, young travellers passing through London Gatwick, London Luton, Bristol and Manchester airports will have the opportunity to drop off their letters via easyJet’s unmistakable special orange post boxes in the airport terminal ahead of the big day.

Spreading Christmas Joy

The airline is also providing a special letter collection service to local schools near its UK airports which will see easyJet’s cabin crew bringing their famous warm welcome to collect letters to take directly to Santa. The letters will be delivered on its flights from across the UK and Europe directly to Rovaniemi in Lapland.

easyJet pilots and cabin crew will then hand deliver them to Santa ensuring a magical way for children to have their wishes arrive safely regardless of where they’ll be this Christmas. And the airline’s research says that nearly all passengers (98 percent) travelling abroad will make an effort to find events and festive activities to ensure their children feel the magic of the festive season.

Big Holiday Plans

On top of that, 97 percent will still try to undertake Christmas traditions, with nearly half (48 percent) visiting a Christmas market and the same figure say they plan on eating a traditional Christmas dinner. Of those surveyed, 89 percent will make sure they have brought their Advent Calendar with them ahead of the big day.

The festive study also revealed some surprising requests parents have seen in their letters to Santa and now easyJet makes sure parents can rest easy knowing that their childrens’ letters are actually getting where they need to go.
