easyJet is launching a dedicated US website in response to growing demand from customers in the USA. Visits from the US now feature in easyJet's top ten league table by volume. The UK tops the chart with France taking second place and Italy a close third.
As
well as benefitting from a dedicated homepage, US customers booking
through the new site will be able to book their flights in dollars
for the first time by logging onto www.easyjet.com/us
Peter
Duffy, Marketing Director for easyJet commented:
"More
than 90,000 US customers visit easyJet.com every week and this number
continues to grow. The USA now has the ninth most visitors with more
than 360,000 visits in September alone.
"The
UK retains the number one spot with almost 14m visits during
September.
"More
than half (55%) of the Americans visiting easyJet.com come to the
site directly which shows that easyJet holds a truly global appeal
and has a strong brand presence in countries thousands of miles from
the nearest easyJet airport."
"This
is not just about hits to the website. We take hundreds of thousands
of bookings from the US (and beyond) each month. Just like our
European passengers they are a mix of people doing business or
holidaying in Europe."
The
US is not the only far-flung country where news of easyJet's friendly
service and affordable fares has reached. Millions of people visit
easyJet.com from Australia, Canada and Brazil. easyJet can also
reveal more surprising statistics which show that easyJet.com has
received 1347 visits from the Congo, 1010 from Uzbekistan and 2695
from Ethiopia!
