EasyJet Plc is in talks with Greek tourist chiefs aimed at extending the country’s holiday season as this year’s terror attacks in Tunisia prompt people to turn away from vacations in North Africa.
EasyJet wants restaurants and hotels that currently open from May to September to take customers from March until November, U.K. regional director Sophie Dekkers said in an interview. It’s initially seeking extensions through October, starting in 2016.
