Things are picking up a little slower in Europe, although the market also recorded an increase of 30% compared to May last year. How do things look in Latin America??

The leading company in air mobility in Latin America, Flapper, with operations in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and other Latin American countries, has recorded a series of trends in passenger behavior during the pandemic, which can be summarized in the following five points:

  • Urgency: Flight requests are becoming more urgent because people don't plan ahead.
  • Remote destinations: Increase in requests from smaller cities because passengers are moving to their summer or winter homes.
  • International reach: Given the regional reach of the company, international prices increased, including flights to USA. UU. and Europe, as well as between Central America and South America, added to the lack of commercial connections, but below the levels of 2020.
  • Load: The market has recorded an increase in cargo requests, especially in Colombia and Brazil.
  • Vaccination tourism: New motivation to travel during a pandemic is a reality in the region.

Vaccination tourism

A new trend in international tourism deserves a separate paragraph.. Countries that secured sufficient vaccine stock for their population have seen the opportunity to turn that advantage into an accelerator to reactivate the travel and tourism industry.. The countries that have made the most progress with vaccination are Israel, United Kingdom and United Arab Emirates, according to Our World in Data sources.

From all these countries, USA It is the one that has positioned itself as the main destination for vaccination tourism, but there are certain conditions to consider according to each State, some vaccinate only their residents and others have a more open policy to vaccinate people without residence as well. Flight alternatives are varied and depend on each country of origin.:

  • Non-stop flights: from Colombia and Central America or Brazil – when using a long range jet (G550 o similar).
  • Flights with 1 scale: from Chile, Argentina, Peru, Paraguay, Bolivia and Brazil in super medium category jets.
  • Empty Legs (empty sections): Match your trip with one of our empty leg offers and pay per seat, which is much cheaper.
