Haji-Ioannou

Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, founder and owner of easyGroup, said he would appeal against the decision.

EasyGroup and its owner Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou have a long history of taking legal action against businesses who use the prefix "easy" in their name.

EasyJet founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou plans to call a truce in a dispute with the British airline's management and support the purchase of 56 new Airbus aircraft, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing a person familiar with the matter.

Having founded easyJet in 1995, Haji-Ioannou quit the board in 2010 and has clashed several times with the management since.

The aircraft order had proved a source of dispute with Haji-Ioannou, who had opposed the investment at the height of the pandemic.
