Furthermore, the airline stated that this tendency is bolstered by high domestic travel demand, amplified by the rapid speed of vaccination campaigns.
IndiGo’s Chief Commercial Officer William Boulter told IANS: “We have seen growing loads and demand for travel after mid-May, and we forward to achieve 80 percent capacity utilization by the end of this year, as we did in February.”
Boulter stated that the vaccine campaign would undoubtedly be a significant component in the tourism and aviation industries’ revival on the inoculation front. Airlines’ allowed capacity deployment is now set at 65 percent of pre-Covid levels, which will last until July 31, 2021. “According to our understanding from physicians, the third wave would be flat if India can vaccine 7 lakh people per day. At the moment, travel demand is inversely proportional to the number of cases.”
“As the number of cases increases, travel demand decreases, and the decrease in covid cases increases trip reservations. We can see trip reservations rebounding back in the current scenario as the number of instances decreases.” In addition, he discussed the ‘Lockdown Fatigue,’ which is causing more pent-up demand this year than last year.
“There was pent-up demand last year when we came out of the lockdown because many residents were stranded in other places and wanted to come home, which translated into a strong demand for travel.” “However, a pandemic and lockdown weariness has set up, resulting in a surge in trip bookings as soon as the lockdowns were activated. Travel bookings trebled in June alone, according to industry sources, and we expect this trend to continue.”
“We started the crisis with no freighters, but we deployed about says the company. We kept studying the market because we didn’t want to be swayed by the unique demand created by the lack of passenger belly capacity – which would surely return.” “We’ve also started a freighter program, and we’re looking for four A321CEO (P2F) planes right now.”
