Committee will:
• Serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the quality and timeliness of the financial reporting process and monitor the
internal financial control system;
• Review and appraise the audit efforts of the external auditors;
• Provide an open avenue of communication among the external auditors, financial and senior management, and the Board;
• Confirm and assure the independence and objectivity of the external auditor; and
• Review and monitor the effectiveness of the internal audit function and the management responses to the recommendations.
The Audit Committee has the responsibility for appointing the external auditors. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP were reappointed auditors
of the Group at the Annual General Meeting, held in March 2007.
In order to preserve auditor independence, the Board has decided that the auditor will not be asked to provide consulting services unless
this is in the best interests of the Company. The auditor is asked on a regular basis to articulate the steps that it has taken to ensure its
independence. easyJet monitors the auditors’ performance and behaviour during the exercise of its duties. In the financial year, easyJet spent
£0.6 million with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (2006: £0.5 million) in respect of non-audit services and £2.4million (2006: £1.0 million) with other
parties who are entitled to act as registered auditors.
The Board has discussed the composition of the Audit Committee and is satisfied that the Directors who were members of this Committee
during the year were those who were best able to contribute to the Committee’s objectives. David Bennett has served as the Chairman
of the Committee during the year. Until the middle of this financial year, David was the Group Finance Director of Alliance and Leicester plc,
a major FTSE 100 company; experience which the Board considers to be recent and relevant for the purposes of undertaking the role as
Chairman of the Committee.

Nominations Committee
The Nominations Committee comprises at least three members. During the year, the Nominations Committee members were Sir Colin
Chandler (Chairman), David Bennett, Professor Rigas Doganis and Dawn Airey. Sir Colin Chandler is not considered to be independent as he is
Chairman of the Group. However, the Board is satisfied that Sir Colin Chandler’s personal integrity and experience makes him a highly effective
member of the Board and the Nominations Committee.
This Committee is responsible for nominating candidates to fill Board positions and for making recommendations on Board composition and
balance. In appointing Non-Executive Directors, the Board’s practice is to use an external recruitment agency. The Nominations Committee
has met once during the year.
The terms of reference of the Nominations Committee are documented and agreed by the main Board. The full text of the terms
of reference is available in the investor relations section of the easyJet website, www.easyJet.com. The key terms are as follows:
• To consider, at the request of the Board or the Chairman of the Board, the making of any appointment or reappointment to the Board,
whether of Executive or Non-Executive Directors; and
• To establish and carry out a formal selection process of candidates and provide advice and recommendations to the Board or Chairman
(as appropriate) on any such appointment.
Before selecting new appointees, the Nominations Committee considers the balance of skills, knowledge and experience on the Board to
ensure that a suitable balance is maintained. All job specifications prepared include details of the time commitments expected in the role.
On joining the Board, new board members receive a full and tailored induction. Shareholders are offered the chance to meet new
Non-Executive Directors.
Contracts with Directors are made available at the Annual General Meeting or on request.

Before the appointment of Sir Colin Chandler to the Board in 2002, his significant other commitments were disclosed to the Board. Sir Colin
continues to have significant commitments outside of easyJet, including the post of Pro-Chancellor of Cranfield University. The Board has
considered this and has decided that these commitments do not represent an impediment to proper performance of his role as Chairman
