The budget airline easyJet has announced that more than one in every five passengers were now travelling with them for business purposes.
Many flight carriers and travel companies are feeling the effects of the recession as travel budgets are put under pressure. However, easyJet have found they have benefited from the trade down from traditional carriers to budget airlines.
Andy Harrison the chief executive of easyJet said: “We have definitely grown our share in the business market.”
The company did warn though, it expects a tough winter ahead as rising unemployment hits the demand for travel. The travel industry is bracing for more price cuts in flights and lower profit margins. This news is certainly good for those looking to get away and find a great bargain.
