Carolyn McCall, EasyJet Plc’s new chief executive officer, said flight delays at London’s Gatwick airport are her most immediate concern after joining Europe’s second-biggest discount airline four weeks ago.
EasyJet fell 7.1 percent in London trading, the biggest drop in 18 months, after McCall said in her first comments as CEO that she’s “looking at all assumptions” concerning crew levels and rostering as staff shortages at bases including Gatwick prompt a decline in service punctuality.
