The budget airline has decided to do all it can in an attempt to "make a difference" to those affected by the disaster - which struck the Sagaing Region of Myanmar towards the end of March and has so far claimed the lives of more than 3,000 people - and wants to help the UN agency in their quest to "support children and families" amid the ordeal.

Michael Brown, easyJet's Director of Cabin Services, said: “UNICEF’s humanitarian response in Myanmar, with teams working around the clock to deliver supplies, is doing critical work to support children and families.

“With thousands of our flights operating across Europe this Easter, donating just the price of a cup of tea onboard could help to make a difference, and enable UNICEF to provide life-saving supplies.

“We hope that with the support of our dedicated crew collecting kind donations from millions of customers travelling over the Easter break, together we will be able to help UNICEF provide life-changing support for children and families affected by the devastation.”

UNICEF explained that such funding raised from the sales made on-board easyJet planes all help them with their "vital work" towards helping those suffering from the crisis..

Dr Philip Goodwin, Chief Executive at The UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK), said:

“The earthquakes in Myanmar have been devastating for children and families, many of whom have already been living through conflict, displacement, and deprivation.

“UNICEF is in Myanmar, delivering supplies but we need more support to help us continue this vital work.

“Funding from partners such as easyJet enable UNICEF’s emergency response teams to continue to deliver essential resources to help save and protect the lives of children and families.

“I would like to thank easyJet employees and customers for their generous support towards our work for children.”
