Report Overview

In this report, we quantify the revenue value premium cabins bring to airlines, a contentious topic in the airline and business travel world. Despite representing a small fraction of the total seat capacity for most full-service carriers, premium cabins contribute significantly to total passenger revenue. 

We also look into how full-service carriers have shifted their focus to revenue growth through investments in premium cabins in the post-pandemic world, rather than prioritizing cost competitiveness. This has helped them win the recovery battle, as revenues from premium cabins continue to outpace those from economy cabins. 

Our latest report also explores how long full-service carriers can maintain their dominance in premium travel and whether low-cost carriers will disrupt the market with their premium offerings.
