Ebookers.com Travel Bookings Jump Fourfold In 20 Weeks

November 17, 1999


LONDON -- Ebookers.com PLC (EBKR), the European on-line travel agency, Wednesday said the number of airline tickets booked through its Internet site rose to a record 1,000 last week.

This compares with a previous weekly figure of 260 tickets 20 weeks ago and 643 bookings 10 weeks ago.

The London-based company, which last week floated on the Neuer Markt and Nasdaq, believes the key to the fourfold rise in bookings over the last 20 weeks is their increased marketing effort and the honing of its product. All of which has tapped into a growing trend among European travelers to book their tickets on-line.

At 1115 GMT, shares in ebookers.com were unchanged at EUR20.50.
