EasyJet, Apollo extend airline takeover deadline to mid-October

EasyJet and Apollo have extended the deadline for publishing the scheme document to October 15, 2026, as the parties continue consultations with aviation regulators following the summer period.

The extension follows the announcement on Tuesday that Apollo will acquire the airline through a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement. The revised timeline allows additional time for engagement with relevant authorities as the transaction moves through the approval process.

The companies have maintained their expectation to complete the acquisition by the end of the first quarter of 2027, provided all required conditions are met. The scheme document, detailing the terms of the takeover, is now scheduled for publication no later than October 15.
