Incidents and accidents
  • On 26 March 2012, EasyFly Flight 8697, the aircraft presented a hydraulic fluid spill during the flight. The aircraft landed without complications in José María Córdoba International Airport. The causes of the incident are being investigated.[2]

In 2018 easyGroup, licensor of the easyJet brand began legal proceedings against EasyFly and Honduras-based EasySky over use of the "easy" prefix.[3]

An unconnected Dhaka-based cargo airline, Easy Fly Express, branded as "easyFly" was also pursued by easyGroup. An April 2019 easyGroup statement focused on this case indicated a claim against Colombia's EasyFly was ongoing.[4]

gollark: ```python def inuse(connection, event): n = list(connection.get_nickname()) random.shuffle(n) n = "".join(n) print("renicking", n) # snip c.add_global_handler("nicknameinuse", inuse)```
gollark: Nope. You have to do it manually.
gollark: I only play music, and it's great at that, and existing software interops with it nicely for control.
gollark: For OIR anyway.
gollark: mpd was initially just picked because it had builtin HTTP streaming, but it turned out to be a good design choice!
