Airline prices falling fast in Canada
Falling airline ticket prices are helping to fuel the recovery of the business travel market, according to a new study by BTI Canada.
“Low-cost carriers are continuing to pressure legacy carriers to keep their prices down,” said Michele Ferrari, senior vice president, client management for BTI Canada.
The study found domestic ticket prices in Canada decreased by $26, transborder fares fell by $48, and intra-US prices dropped by $65 over the second half of last year.
BTI Canada’s study also found that the number of tickets issued to business travelers increased by nearly 13%.
“In addition to Canadian numbers, this rise in business travel seems to be a global trend,” said Mr Ferrari.
He warned, however, that fare increases could come to cope with the high cost of jet fuel.
The study also found that Global Distribution Systems (GDS) –booked tickets continued to decline, dropping 2.5%; they now account for only 8% of tickets. GDS-booked electronic tickets account for 52%.
BTI Canada is a global provider of corporate travel management services.
