Stelios Haji-Ioannou, the 32-year-old CEO and founder of easyJet airlines, achieved profitability for the first time in 1999, almost four years after launching his London-based, low-cost carrier. The concept behind easyJet was to offer low-cost airline service to the masses, and the airline accomplished this by adopting an efficiency-driven operating model, creating brand awareness, and maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction. A key issue in the case is whether the airline will continue to grow and survive in the highly competitive, low-cost segment of the market. In 2000, Haji-Ioannou was anxious to try his hand at launching other businesses, so he started a chain of Internet cafes. Some questioned whether Haji-Ioannou would be able to transfer his low-cost business model successfully to Internet cafes. Undeterred, Haji-Ioannou moved ahead with his plan to create easyEverything, with the belief that he could make a profit by encouraging customers to surf the Internet, send e-mail, and shop online. A 2002 and 2001 ECCH award winner.
