EASYJET is taking a quarter of its bookings over the Internet after just one year of on-line ticket sales.
The low-cost carrier claimed it made 160,000 sales via its Internet site in February and March this year – bringing in revenue of ú7.7m. This compared to just 911 seats sold in April and May 1998.
EasyJet also revealed that double the amount of people contact it on the Web instead of the telephone.
Chairman Stelios Haji-Ioannou said the airline is planning to build on its on-line sales with the opening of Internet cafes, to be branded EasyEverything, in the UK and abroad from June.
