Rising Preference of Air Travel by Middle-Income Passengers fuels the Asia Pacific Airline Ancillary Services Market

As per International Air Transport Association (IATA), the number of passengers traveling by air is expected to reach ~7.8 billion by 2036. The rapidly emerging middle-class segment majorly influences the growth in passengers travelling through airways in developing economies. In October 2021, world organizations such as United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and the International Civil Aviation Organization partnered to support the safe restart of travel and tourism. In October 2020, UNWTO and IATA inked a Memorandum of Understanding to work together to restart global tourism. This agreement was focused on enhancing the confidence of the general public in air travel, which further helped increase air traffic.

An exponential growth of working groups in developing countries has increased freight traffic disposable income. According to the United Nations, the growing number of middle-class travelers, especially in China and India, is the primary factor contributing to the growth of air travel and various ancillary services. As the world recovers from economic contractions, the demand for air travel increases. The rising air travel demand has resulted in the augmented production of commercial aircraft, which has considerably contributed to the growth of various ancillary services, such as in-flight Wi-Fi, excess luggage, food and beverages, and in-flight shopping. According to IATA, in 2019, there were 4.54 billion air passengers, and in 2023, global air passengers reached 95% of pre-pandemic levels, which is 4.35 billion people. These mounting numbers of passengers across the world are demanding various parameters to make flight hours more exciting and comfortable. In-flight catering or in-flight culinary is one of the key trends among full-service carriers as well as low-cost carriers. The increasing focus on offering enhanced services to flight passengers and the rising number of aviation passengers worldwide are driving the Asia Pacific airline ancillary services market.
