NEWS Internet sales have made a huge impact on easyJet's total sales, according to figures out today. An impressive 91 per cent of sales were made via its website in September, up from 77.8 per cent last year. The budget flight operator has also managed to avoid the huge loss in passenger numbers experienced by arch-rival British Airways.
