The Power of Connecting Passengers –

Later Guest Arrivals to Become The New Normal

If you have ever sat on a plane wondering where the person sitting next to you is travelling, the chances are that their final destination is not the same as yours! For many airlines connecting traffic is an important part of their business model and for some specific routes losing that connecting passenger can mean the difference between operating and the service being dropped.

As the recovery rebuilds from COVID-19 the importance of that connecting passenger will become increasingly important; but will also bring a series of operational and scheduling challenges for the airlines. It really could become a question of “can we live without those flows” in some cases.
