Air Passenger Forecasts
Passenger flows for 4,000 of the world’s largest routes to the year 2036
The Air Passenger Forecast Service is the most comprehensive set of projections on how the airline industry will evolve in the coming years, where more passengers are expected to fly in the next fifteen years than over the past one hundred. Jointly created by Tourism Economics and the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the service provides long-term forecasts of air passenger flows for almost 4,000 routes and total flows for 191 countries.
What the Service Includes
- Extensive databank. Comparable analysis for nearly 4,000 country and region pairs, with historical data from 2006 and twenty-year forecasts. The data covers air passenger flows as well as economic and demographic data by country and regional aggregate.
- Global forecast report. Includes detailed commentary from Tourism Economics and IATA featuring analysis of the baseline forecast plus the impacts of upside and downside alternative scenarios.
