Easyjet grounded to £560m loss after Iran war

I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.
Easyjet forecasts a pre-tax loss of £540m to £560m for the first half of the financial year due to disruptions from the Middle East conflict and rising operational costs. The airline faced increased jet fuel prices, with 18% of its fuel purchased in March adding £25m to losses. Additionally, Easyjet incurred £30m in legal provisions. CEO Kenton Jarvis noted that the financial performance has worsened year on year, but operational plans for peak summer are on track.
