Let’s put this in perspective. You are more likely to be struck by lightning while holding a winning lottery ticket and being chased by a goose than to be in a serious incident on an EasyJet flight. I did the mathish. Actually, the real math: the odds of dying on a commercial flight are about 1 in 11 million. For EasyJet, that number dips even lower.
To give you a taste of how boring their history is: the biggest scandal EasyJet ever had was when a flight attendant forgot to turn off the “fasten seatbelt” sign for 20 minutes once. The passengers rioted, and by “rioted,” I mean they politely sighed.
What About the One Time a Plane Left the Runway?
Ah, you found the 2013 event in Geneva! An EasyJet plane slid off a snowy runway while taxiing. It didn’t crash—it just napped on a patch of grass. Passengers were bused to the terminal. The only injury reported was to a snowflake’s feelings.
Seriously, when your biggest “crash” is a sleepy roll into a snowbank, you’re doing something right. Compare that to, say, a cruise ship hitting a rock or a train derailing. EasyJet is practically a cloud on roller skates.
