An in-depth analysis of the IATA COVID-19 Passenger Surveys identified six traveler personas that are differentiated based on their willingness to return to travel. The focus has been placed on identifying which safety measures and industry projects will contribute the most to passengers feeling safe and quick to return to their travel habits by taking into account a variety of people’s characteristics, their perceptions of the air industry and their concerns related to travel.
