1138 GMT - EasyJet is deploying larger airplanes than usual on a number of key routes to assist passengers affected by the closure of London's Heathrow Airport, a spokeswoman for the low-cost airline says. Routes connecting the U.K. with Milan, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Paris, Munich and Madrid will have 186-seat A320 aircraft, instead of the smaller 156-seat A319 aircraft, so as to provide additional seats to customers on Friday and over the weekend, the spokeswoman says. EasyJet's operations aren't directly affected by the closure of Heathrow, the spokeswoman says. (pierre.bertrand@wsj.com)
