Premium Travel Is Back for Airlines and Remains Key Business Ingredient
(SOURCE: CENTRE FOR AVIATION)

In the decade before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, travel in premium cabins generated approximately 20% of industry revenue globally and about 30% of all revenue from international operations.

This was despite premium passengers accounting for only 5% of international origin-destination passengers and approximately 7% of global revenue passenger kilometres (RPKs).
