"The dominant purpose of travel in the last 3 months was evenly split between VFR (Visiting Friends and Relatives) and the resurgence of leisure travel, each contributing 1/3 of overall travel, while business travel recovered to double digit contribution, although still much lower than pre-pandemic levels." Besides, the airline pointed out that nearly 70 per cent of the respondents stated definite plans for travel in the next 3 months, with the travel purpose dominated by holiday or leisure travel in the festive season.
"The primary concerns or drivers of confidence for the resurgence in travel remain evenly distributed among three extrinsic factors - a drop in the number of Covid cases, easing of government restrictions and being vaccinated." At present, AirAsia India flies to 17 destinations and over 240 direct and connecting routes across India with 30 Airbus A320 aircraft. (IANS)
