The message came after Iata reported high levels of confidence among travellers for the peak Northern summer holiday season, corresponding with first quarter 2023 forward bookings data for May-September, which is tracking at 35% above 2022 levels.
A survey covering 4,700 travellers in 11 countries found 79% said they were planning a trip in the June-August 2023 period and while 85% said peak travel season disruptions should "not be a surprise", 80% said they expected smooth travel with post-pandemic issues to have been resolved.
