easyJet-Apollo deal generates £334M in advisory fees, among City's richest this year

The acquisition of easyJet by Apollo is generating £334 million in fees for bankers and advisors, making it one of the most lucrative deals in the City this year. The scale of fees signals high deal complexity and competition, reflecting robust M&A activity in the aviation sector. This development underscores the profitability of advisory work in large-cap transactions, though it does not directly alter market fundamentals.
