The higher end biz travel is going like crazy. NetJets just had to suspend fractional sales of light cabin jets (Phenom 300, Excel) because demand is outstripping the supply of jets and pilots. They said it was the highest demand they've ever seen and the company has been around for decades.

The airlines are desperate to gain back the “Concierge Key” type of business.
It is gone to the likes of FlexJet, netjetz and AirShare.
Don’t expect it back anytime soon. They are enjoying the flexibility and customer service.
Airlines will have to rebuild on the common plebes dollar bills.

We are stuck at 2 million until the admin allows outside countries to travel here. We are allowed to travel to other places with a negative test but others are not allowed in here. Until that happens we will be stuck in the 75% of 2019 numbers.

I love the term “revenge travel” in this article.
The airports are a frappin zoo. Third airline five days into an 8 day tour. Good news for airline employees, absolute hell for those forced to ride hither and yon.
