LONDON (Dow Jones)--EasyJet PLC's (EZJ.LN) founder and major shareholder Stelios Haji-Ioannou believes the low-cost carrier should expand organically rather than through mergers or takeovers, he said in an e-mail response to Dow Jones Newswires.
"My current view as a shareholder is that easyJet should carry on growing organically, not by mergers and acquisitions," Haji-Ioannou said, when asked if he was open to the airline ultimately ending up in a combined group with Icelandic-controlled airline company Sterling.
