Easyjet founder of other Easy-to-Airlines annoyed

Stelios Haji-Ioannou draws two Latin American airlines to court. Other Airlines felt already the Power of the founder of Easyjet.

A Million pounds or the equivalent of 1.1 million euros, the Easy Group every year to combat copycats. The British group takes legal proceedings against the company in the world, the use of the word "easy" in their name or products. This weapon felt about the French escort Agency Easyroommate, the British Restaurant easy pizza or the owner of the Domain Easytech.

Behind the Easy Group, Stelios Haji-Ioannou, who founded in 1995, Easyjet and today, with approximately 33 per cent, still the largest shareholder of the British cheap airline. He operates in his group dozens of companies with the prefix "easy" in the name. No wonder he is allergic to all that want to advertise with "easy". "Some people think they can make a quick buck by stealing our name and our reputation," explains his Easy Group in General in the fight against imitators.

Claim: Change of Name

And so Stelios, who is keen to be the first name mentioned now, also the Honduran lowcost provider of Easy Sky before the court, as the newspaper The Times reported. Their parent company, Global Air – ingloriously known since the crash in Havana – has been sued. The claim: A Change in the Name.

Easy Sky is not the first Airline, which gets with Stelios and the easy group in Trouble. The British stopped already with the freight company Easyfly Express, and prevented the launch of a new Indian low-cost airline under the name of Easyair. She is now the Prime Airways – but is not yet started. In addition, Easy Group complained recently, the Colombian Easyfly.
