At least 42 per cent of the air travellers in the past three months had a comfortable and safe in-flight experience and are ready to travel again, a report said on Wednesday. The survey was conducted by online travel aggregator ixigo, with a sample of 5000 users also known as ‘Early travellers’ – a group of flyers who have travelled in July-August-September and are ready to travel again in the next three months.
The survey results show that as travellers return to the skies, the confidence in air travel is rising. According to the report, the likelihood of the respondents to take another domestic trip during the next three months (42 per cent) is the highest it has been as compared to an earlier sentiment survey done in May (16 per cent).
“As travel demand recovers, we want our users to feel confident and safe and give them a flexible, stress-free booking experience," Rajnish Kumar, Co-Founder & CTO, ixigo, said in a statement.
The report revealed that safety and hygiene measures being adopted by airlines and various properties is the most important aspect for travellers during Covid-19.
