Easyjet’s agency website will be non-commission

Tuesday, 07 Oct, 2002 0

EasyJet is launching an agent-dedicated website.

The website, which will go live in December, will provide access to the full Go/easyJet network. It will also feature “Management Information”, which will enable agents to track their branch bookings.

Agents will be offered the same fares as the public, and will not receive commissions. The airline said agents “were welcome to apply a service charge to customers”.

EasyJet will add a “Lowest Fare Tool” in Spring 2003, which will allow agents to change, cancel and edit bookings, rather than making changes through the call centre.

The agency website will be launched at the same time as the combined easyJet and Go consumer website, under the easyJet name, and the seperate Go website will be scrapped.

EasyJet announced today that annual profits should be in line with expectations. It reported easyJet passenger numbers during September were up 51.5 percent, and Go passenger numbers up 39.1 percent from the same month last year.

Load factors were also up for both carriers, resulting in an average of 84.7 percent for the easyJet Group during September.
