At the same time as it was launching its French site, online travel portal Opodo, owned by nine of Europe's largest carriers, revealed traffic figures for its first sites in the UK and Germany.
Since starting up in December, statistics from Nielsen Netrating showed that in Germany Opodo had become the country's most visited flight website with four million visitors, and the second largest travel site in Germany behind train operator Deutsche Bahn.
In the UK, the ratings agency found that Opodo received 2.1 million visitors in the first two months of its launch since January, which makes it the third most popular travel site in the country.
