OAG helps enable Skift's Travel Health Index by providing flight data (powered by OAG Metis). The Index records travel performance along with other key data points and is a vital source to track the travel industry’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Skift Travel Health Index is 103 in October 2023.
Highlights from this month's Skift Travel Health Index include:
- Hong Kong was the only country to gain 1 pp over September 2023. China’s Golden Week holiday from October 1-7 boosted cross-border travel to Hong Kong, thus improving performance.
- All European countries tracked by the Travel Health Index witnessed a decline in performance in October. Germany and Russia have struggled to recover to 2019 levels for a while.
- China's domestic airline seat capacity has not only rebounded from the pandemic but has also increased by 10% over 2019 in October 2023. However, international seat capacity remains 45% below pre-pandemic times.
" Europe was impacted the most due to reduced pent-up demand and economic concerns. Despite China's
Golden Week holiday, travel recovery in the country remained sluggish." - Saniya Zanpure
