Airfares set to stabilise in 2025
Airfare price increases will level off globally in 2025, according to Air Monitor 2025.
The Air Monitor is developed by Amex GBT Consulting, part of American Express Global Business Travel (Amex GBT).
It says fares on most routes will increase year on year, although expected increases are modest – with significant regional variances, which continues a trend that started in 2024.
The Air Monitor is a comprehensive annual forecast of global airfares, industry trends and advice to help businesses optimise their air programmes as the aviation landscape evolves rapidly.
This year’s edition outlines factors shaping prices, including continued growth in global air capacity, and a return to more traditional seasonal patterns for leisure travel.
Gerardo Tejado, SVP Professional Services, Amex GBT, said: “In 2025, businesses will be faced with a new reality – even though price rises are levelling off and capacity has returned, fares remain high.”
Corporates should expect tough negotiating stances from airlines, particularly as carriers evolve their distribution models.”
“Business travel buyers will need to be strategic – for example, around loyalty and programme performance data – to get value in this environment.”
