Night curfews at major hubs can cut overnight flying windows, forcing easyJet to reallocate rotations and incur higher unit costs. New-generation engines and continuous descent approach profiles deliver material noise reductions, enabling marginal relaxation of limits where accepted. Schedule planning must embed local restrictions to protect punctuality and yield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-orange-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-box-orange-section4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title-row-orange-section\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/PESTLE-Content-Enviromental-Box-Icon-Color-2.svg\" alt=\"Icon\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClimate risk and weather\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-row-orange-section blur_box\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeatwaves, storms and ATC constraints drove rising disruptions for easyJet, forcing route replanning and larger reserves to absorb irregular ops; industry reinsurance and insurance premiums rose roughly 15–25% in 2023–24, and contingency fuel policies increased unit costs.
