The Issue

October is the contractual turning point where corporate partners make their final decisions for the upcoming Eurovision 2027 cycle in Burgas. We need to make one thing absolutely clear to easyJet’s board and its major investors: Eurovision and easyJet will no longer be soaring together. It is time for an immediate withdrawal.

🛑 Let’s "Help" easyJet Walk Away: No 2027 Renewal, No Presenting Partnership

Our immediate goal is to ensure easyJet does not renew its contract for the 2027 cycle. But we must look further ahead. With other massive sponsors like Moroccanoil leaving the Eurovision ecosystem due to public backlash, there is a dangerous power vacuum at the top. We cannot allow easyJet to step into that void and upgrade its status.

Let’s help easyJet make the right business decision: They must NOT renew their airline sponsorship for 2027, and they must NEVER become a Presenting Partner (Main Official Sponsor) for Eurovision.

We need to send a clear message to their corporate strategy team: Any attempt to deepen your financial involvement or become a presenting partner will result in an immediate, catastrophic consumer boycott across Europe. We are here to "help" them realize that Eurovision is a financial black hole for their brand reputation.

🏛️ Double the Pressure: Contact the EBU and Participating Broadcasters!

To break the status quo, we must apply pressure from both sides. We need to actively contact the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the participating national broadcasters (like BBC, France Télévisions, ZDF, RAI, etc.) of each country.

National broadcasters are funded by public taxpayers and are highly sensitive to ethical controversies. We must flood their public relations and viewer log departments with a clear message:

"As public taxpayers/viewers, we demand you pressure the EBU to sever ties with easyJet and its pro-Israel backing capital. If the EBU continues to accept sponsorships from brands aligned with apartheid, you must follow the ethical footsteps of the Netherlands’ broadcaster AVROTROS and withdraw from Eurovision 2027 entirely."
By forcing national broadcasters to question the ethics of EBU's commercial choices, we weaken easyJet's position from the inside.

💰 Exposing the Money Trail: Apollo Global Management’s Pro-Israel Ties

To understand why easyJet is clinging to this toxic sponsorship, we must follow the money. One of easyJet's most significant institutional backers and financial partners in major projects (like their "Party Planes") is Apollo Global Management.

Apollo Global Management has long-standing, documented pro-Israel ties and heavy financial investments within the Israeli ecosystem. When a massive private equity firm with clear ideological and financial commitments to apartheid backs an airline, it is no coincidence that the airline continues to bankroll the EBU’s cultural-washing machine. By staying partnered with Eurovision, easyJet is serving the interests of pro-Israel capital over basic human rights. We must expose this toxic relationship and hold Apollo accountable for using European tourism to whitewash war crimes.

🎭 The Pure Hypocrisy of "Party Planes" and the "Orange Runway"

easyJet loves to wrap itself in a colorful, joyous corporate identity. They actively market their Eurovision partnership through festive mid-air events like "Party Planes", and rally crowds with anthems and slogans like "Orange Runway" or "All Aboard the Orange Plane".

But let’s call it what it is: disgusting corporate hypocrisy.

How can easyJet invite the world to sing, dance, and climb "all aboard" their festive planes while they are logistically and financially fueling an event that actively cultural-washes and shields an apartheid state from accountability? While millions suffer under occupation, easyJet is busy hosting mid-air pop concerts. There is no joy on a runway that leads to complicity. Their "Orange Runway" is fundamentally stained by blood and apartheid.

⚡ Why easyJet Needs an Immediate, Massive Public Backlash

Corporations do not have a conscience; they only understand risk. easyJet will not walk away from Eurovision out of goodwill. They need a massive public backlash that threatens their bottom line.

We need to create a PR nightmare so severe that easyJet’s marketing team is forced to tell Apollo Global Management: "Staying in Eurovision is destroying our brand value in Europe."

The Domino Effect is Real: We have proven that public backlash works. The long-term main sponsor Moroccanoil did not renew its contract due to immense public pressure. More importantly, Dutch public broadcaster AVROTROS officially announced its withdrawal from the contest, citing the EBU’s complete failure to maintain political neutrality. If national broadcasters are walking away due to public outrage, easyJet must be made to feel that same heat.

Let’s ensure easyJet becomes the next major partner to leave the Eurovision ecosystem entirely. No more soaring together with cultural-washing.
