Also airlines doesnt sell millions of $ in tickets every day

The quote was:

> That website sold millions of euros worth of tickets every day.

The claim wasn't that a single airline sold a million dollars per day, but that a third party on seller sold a million euros worth of tickets a day.

Is that plausible?

Consider The City in the Sky:

    Every day 100,000 flights criss-cross the globe with more than 1 million people in the air at any one time. Dallas Campbell and Dr Hannah Fry explore the world of aviation.

At any instance there are one million people aloft.

At any instance there's at least 50 million dollars worth of ticket sales in play - how much during a 24 hour day would you estimate?

Is it possible for a single third party seller to capture a million euro per day?
