THE DEPARTING chief executive of Easyjet has been handed a golden goodbye to the tune of almost £3m ahead of stepping down next month.
Johan Lundgren has pocketed £2.88m ahead of handing over to Kenton Jarvis in the New Year.
The pay packet is up from the £2.19m Lundgren received in the prior year.
The figures, revealed in Easyjet's latest annual report, includes £803,000 in basic salary, a rise from £770,000. Lundgren's bonus remained flat at £1.3m.
The annual report comes after it was revealed that Easyjet plans to more than double its full-year dividend after its profit jumped nearly a third during its latest 12 months.
The carrier reported a 34 per cent rise in pre-tax profit to £610m in the 12 months to October 2024.
Lundgren's package was announced on the same day Britvic's CEO Simon Litherland was handed a £4.68m pay packet, up from the £2.86m he received in the prior year.
