The airline’s service has dropped down over the last 5 years. Only a few expensive flights give a feeling of luxury otherwise air traveling is compared with train travel. The scenario of getting cheap air flights and increasing number of airlines especially local airlines are responsible for bringing the status down.

But, the airline’s industry is fortunate enough that more than 83 percent of passenger’s plan to take a trip on an airplane this year, according to a new survey. A bigger advantage in air traveling is time-saving which make it a popular mode of travel.

The air travel is the first choice for businessmen and regular travelers who need to travel frequently. Trip Reserver lists some reasons behind preferring air travel as compared with other means:

Insights of Air Travel:

Many profitable businesses are flourishing by getting associated with the airline’s industry. Some of them are:

  • Enhanced Amenities like food option
  • Investment in technology
  • On Airport services like shops, restaurants, etc.
  • Off-board services like aircraft maintenance
  • Food and beverage services inside flights
  • Security services
  • Navigation Services
  • Cleaning and maintenance services
  • Baggage and taxi services

The list is long. In a nutshell, we can say that the airlines are like a big umbrella giving shelter to many businesses. The result of a survey reveals that 85% of the passengers were satisfied with the travel experience which is on the upper side from 2015 i.e.80%.

Many passengers (78%) have reported that there were issues but they were resolved either by airport authorities or by the respective airlines.

A major concern of the passengers was that why airfare is going up day by day? What is the actual reason behind the hike in air fare? To find the answer, Trip Reserver surveyed and came up with an answer that airfare goes up due to many reasons

The main reason is the hike in petrol prices and heavy-duty charges from airport authorities such as aircraft parking, maintenance, etc. The surveys still reveal that the airlines are in big profits after heavy expenditures also. According to the surveys conducted to explore the reason behind the hike in prices is the monopoly of airlines and the people itself who have raised so much demand for flights that they are ready to pay any amount for traveling by air.

Many times, from last two years, a solution is raised that there have to be a criteria of affordable ticket prices which can fit into everyone’s pocket but still no such rule is decided and there are no fixed rules to calculate the airfare. In such cases, the airlines raise their prices without thinking of the after effects of the situation and the passengers have to suffer.

The plane tickets must be set as per the fixed criteria like distance, country — country duty charges, etc. The service industry is to serve, not to earn the profit. For the small profit, the airline’s especially private domestic airlines should not lose the respect and dignity which the airlines have earned over the years.

The most important is the trust factor. When a passenger sees ten types of fares on different websites for the same flight. his trust is lost and he starts looking for alternatives. The distance is the main advantage otherwise there were chances of losing many passengers.

Conclusion

Affordable plane tickets are right of every passenger and the airlines must not create unnecessarily a hype. The websites offering flight booking services must keep a track of changing prices and try to be accurate so that the passengers are not troubled. Sometimes website update also causes pricing issues.

Trip Reserver’s team wishes a Happy and Safe Journey to all the passengers!
