Online travel agency On the Beach expects demand for holiday to “remain weak” while current travel restrictions remain in place.

Simon Cooper said carriers hold a “crazy” amount of power over consumers due to a lack of competition on certain routes

The company said consumer demand for booking holidays had “remained very weak” since the start of the latest lockdown in early January and the reduction in winter flying programmes.


In its latest trading update to investors, On the Beach said bookings were down by 83% year-on-year for the four months from the start of October to the end of January.
