easyjet will benefit from that.it from the thomas cook collapse yet, it is too recent on those profits will be reported later, but every year there are problems in the airline industry so are problems in the airline industry so the stronger airlines will do well in the figures. easyjet's shares are down around 5% this morning because they are saying they are making less money per passenger, their margins are squeezed, partly because we are changing our minds and what we are doing in terms of travel? globally, the predictions for the increase in flights... in the last few years, people have flown more and more and more and recently they have predicted that will come down and in the last year it has condemned significantly. there is talk about flight shaming, maybe it is gaining currency, but they had still increased passenger numbers, easyjet. up to march, 5 million extra, so its flight shaming real? i don't know how many people are not flying because of flight shaming, but people are not flying as much. from the uk

easyjet is moving into that realm, isn't it?generally the ancillary side of the business, the non— ticket revenue side, is looked at as non— ticket revenue side, is looked atasa non— ticket revenue side, is looked at as a growth area. and with that asa at as a growth area. and with that as a background, it is somewhere that easyjet has been moving into. so when you go online to book your flight so when you go online to book your flight you might be tempted to book a hotel and get the car sorted, all the various elements, and before you know it your holiday is done and dusted on the easyjet site. what about passengers and the customer? because easyjet is uncertain about the future because of the collapse of thomas cook. that's really the big question. i think people understand that in terms of the opportunity from the airline's perspective, there is a lot to kind of push into, to offer more flights to the consumer. the real question is are those consumers going to be there and wanting to fly on the aircraft to take those holidays?

is there anything else that easyjet is doing particularly well compared to its rivals?n. interesting. peter morris, many thanks. peter morris, many thanks. in other business stories we‘ve been following, barclays has promised to freeze closures of any braches which are ‘last in town‘ and in remote areas for two years, but this is comes as the bank pulls out of a scheme allowing customers to withdraw cash from the post office. it says it is "committed" to its relationship with the post office because customers will still be able to deposit cash. but the payment systems regulator, which overseas the cash system, says the decision "reduces the number of places their customers can go to get cash". guitar—maker fender has been accused of illegally preventing price discounts on sales in the uk. the competition and markets authority has provisionally found that between 2013 and 2018 the us firm made online vendors sell its guitars at or above a minimum figure. known as ‘resale price maintenance‘, or rpm, it‘s illegal. the cma will hear from the company before deciding whether
