This week we look at what changes the airlines have been making during the Covid pandemic and whether things will revert to normal once it is over.
The pandemic has seen many corporate airline deals extended or pushed back and we hear how relationships are key - suppliers need to talk to corporates and intermediaries, and the relationship must not just be based on price.
The launch of continuous pricing will allow traditional carriers to compete effectively with low cost carriers. We will also see the end of the term lowest logical airfare as a result.
But will continuous pricing lead to an increase in prices and changes to airline joint ventures?
The panel also discuss the removal of change fees and passengers in middle seats, Will that stay the same? Find out.
