Sentiment wavers

BOOKING sentiment for business travel continues to oscillate as a result of the Delta variant, new polling from the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) shows.

The results indicated that 80% of companies are likely to delay the resumption of non-essential domestic and international business travel due to the Delta variant/other variants, however one in five (22%) travel supplier and travel management company respondents reported feeling more optimistic compared to a month ago, up seven percentage points in Sep compared to Aug. alongside sustainable aviation fuels and hydrogen.

“Wing of Tomorrow is also an example of how large-scale industry collaboration will be critical to achieving our sector’s agenda for a more sustainable future,” Airbus Chief Technical Officer Sabine Klauke said.

The project is part-funded by the UK’s Aerospace Technology Institute and is a transnational Airbus program involving global partners and teams across Airbus’ European sites.
