Dublin, April 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Online Airline Booking Market by Booking Type (Direct Booking, Third-Party Booking), Platform Type (Desktop/Laptop, Mobile Devices), Customer Type, Trip Type - Forecast 2024-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Online Airline Booking Market size was estimated at USD 5.57 billion in 2023, USD 6.13 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 11.13 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 10.38%.
Rising demand for air travel by consumers coupled with the expansion of airlines across the globe accelerated demand for online airline booking. Additionally, more people have access to the Internet, thus expanding the potential customer base for online bookings. Competitive pricing strategies and exclusive online promotions continue to attract customers.
However, system downtimes and glitches can lead to booking failures and loss of customer trust. Data privacy and security issues can deter users from online transactions, which impacts the adoption of online airline booking platforms. Furthermore, the integration of Global Distribution Systems (GDS) to get real-time information poses significant opportunities for market growth. Ongoing innovation in AI & blockchain technology assists booking platforms to streamline their operations.
Booking Type: Rising preference for direct booking due to transparency and trust
Direct booking refers to the purchase of airline tickets directly from the airline's own platforms, whether it's through their official website or mobile app. Consumers often prefer direct bookings for the clarity and trust factor associated with dealing directly with the airline. This method eliminates hidden fees sometimes present in third-party processes. Third-party booking includes bookings made through websites and apps other than those owned by the airlines, such as travel agencies or aggregators. Customers opt for third-party sites for the convenience of comparing various airlines, schedules, and prices all in one place.
Trip Type: One-way travel is widely favored by the people relocating to a new city or country
One-way travel refers to flights booked from one location to another without a scheduled return journey. This type of booking is favored by travelers with uncertain return dates and people relocating to a new city or country. Round-trip travel includes bookings where the traveler departs and returns to the original departure point. Round-trip travel choice is commonly preferred by vacationers planning short to medium-term getaways and business travelers attending predefined meetings or conferences.
