The easy G-EZII Story
The Airbus 319-100 sporting registration G-EZII and manufacturer serial number (MSN) 2471 left the factory doors for easyJet, Europe's second largest low-cost airline, in May 2005. The British airline was founded on 18 October 1995 by Stelios Haji-Ioannou and currently also has the subsidiaries easyJet Switzerland, based in Meyrin, Switzerland, and easyJet Europe, based in Vienna.
Our G-EZII - christened “Spirit of easyJet 2018, Team Tegel” - served destinations like Copenhagen, Munich and Basel with a total of 156 seats on board. With its 15 years of service, the plane is older than the average age of the 61 Airbus 319-100 models, which is 13.5 years (as of July 2021).
In 2021 easyJet downsized its entire fleet and 23 planes were returned to their lessors, including our G-EZII, which had already been out of service since March 2020. From 3.8.2020 it was parked at Lasham and then moved to St Athan on 24.09.2020.
In March, the Airbus 319-100 received the new registration 2-GGEZ from F-9 Flyco and then was disassembled before making its way to us in Cologne.
We are thrilled to now be welcoming our first easyJet plane to the Aviationtag family.
Incidentally: easyJet ranked among the top 10 safest airlines in 2021. This was the conclusion of analyses carried out for the “Aero International” aviation magazine by the Hamburg-based aviation accident analysis office Jacdec.
