No it means they are selling the bare minimum holidays at a loss to enable the advert to be legal.
The magic word, as always is 'from'

I doubt easyJet pay much - I understood that as part of them starting to fly into Dalaman, the airport make pretty much nothing from the landing fees - their only reward being a bit of duty free from increased passenger numbers and the occasional left turner buying a Big Mac Meal ;)
