easyJet staff based in Switzerland have secured a very generous pay rise.

Unions are celebrating the impact their negotiations have had – saying the deal is certainly at the top of their expectations. 

Workers will now get a 13th month salary and a 10% rise every year for the next three years.

In addition, pension contributions have been improved.

On average, pay will increase about CHF 1,500 a month for easyJet staff. 

The deal means easyJet staff are now best paid short-haul crews in Europe.

easyJet Switzerland is one of the most profitable units of the company, helped by relatively low airport taxes levied in Geneva and Basel.
