Airlines in the United States are looking to the upcoming holiday season to recover the momentum that was lost last quarter due to the resurgence in Covid-19 cases. Following a strong summer travel season, airlines had to temper their recovery outlook as the fast-spreading delta variant of Covid-19 slowed down new bookings and drove up cancellations. Additionally, business travel, the cash cow of the industry, did not make the return that the airlines hoped for, slowing recovery even more in leisure travel’s offseason.

With nearly a month of dipping Covid-19 cases, the industry’s hopes are again beginning to rise, as passengers are proving to be more confident to fly again and another leisure travel season approaches. In fact, some airlines are expecting this holiday season to match or come close to matching 2019’s holiday season demand. (U.S. News, 10.08.21)
