In Business Insider, BCG’s Adam Gordon reflects on the summer travel surge that culminated in a busy Labor Day weekend exceeding pre-pandemic flight numbers from 2019. As COVID-19 case counts decline and restrictions ease in the US, Gordon points out that travel demand has recovered to somewhere between 80% and 95% of its 2019 volume. Though he expects these numbers to dwindle after people fulfill their “pent-up” travel plans, he “...doesn’t see any reason why the upcoming holiday season won't continue to see robust demand, spiking above 2019 levels on key travel dates.”
