Air passenger demand outlook

Air passenger demand has continued to grow robustly throughout 2024 aided by lower inflation. Consequently, interest rates are on their way down which should further support demand in the near-term. However, there are a range of macroeconomic and geopolitical risks – including some degree of uncertainty around the impact of Donald Trump’s upcoming second presidency. The baseline outlook and risks to the outlook will be covered in this webinar.
