This information appears to be **incorrect** and **outdated**.
While US firm **Apollo Global Management did make an approach to EasyJet in September 2021** regarding a potential takeover bid worth around £5.7 billion, **EasyJet rejected that offer**, stating it undervalued the company.
**No takeover deal was ever agreed** between EasyJet and Apollo. EasyJet’s board consistently maintained its independence.
EasyJet remains an **independent, publicly traded company** listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE: EZJ).
It’s possible this headline is referencing that historical approach from 2021, but misrepresenting the outcome as an agreed deal. A major acquisition of this scale would be widely reported by all major financial news outlets, and there is no recent news to this effect.
