The strategy is significant because the 83,159 bulk copies the Independent distributes to hotels, airlines and stations represent 45% of the newspaper’s officially audited circulation of 182,881. Only about 10,000 will be retained at the request of several companies, such as British Airways and Hilton Hotels, who would like to keep offering them to customers.”
