Policy and practice on payment of creditors
We aim to have partnership agreements with our suppliers, which stress the importance of strong suppliers aligned to the success of easyJet as
a business. Many of our supply agreements are unique and tailored to the needs of our business, to make sure that our suppliers are rewarded
appropriately for delivering services which meet pre-agreed performance targets and align with easyJet’s own internal performance goals.
The Group’s practice is to:
• agree the terms of payment at the start of business with the supplier;
• ensure that those suppliers are made aware of the terms of payment; and
• pay in accordance with its contractual and other legal obligations.
At 30 September 2007, the number of creditor days outstanding for the Group was nine days (2006: nine days), and the Company, nil days
(2006: nil days).
