Trevolution Group Reveals Shifts in Airline Travel Trends for H1 2025
In the first half of 2025, Trevolution Group, a leading player in the airline travel industry, has reported steady overall booking levels and a shift towards premium travel, according to their latest commercial results.
The company's gross bookings totaled $627.41 million, maintaining a stable performance compared to 2024, with 508,333 airline tickets issued - a slight 0.41% decrease from 2024 but a 16.8% increase over 2023.
One of the notable trends is the strong growth in premium travel. Business class tickets increased by 32%, accounting for 57,421 of the total, while economy class remained dominant with 450,912 tickets.
Another interesting observation is the shift in the demographic profile of travelers. The 21-30 age group increased to 9.21%, while travelers aged 11-20 now represent 10.45%. This suggests a move towards younger travelers.
In terms of ticket types, the share of one-way tickets rose slightly to 29.63%, reflecting a possible trend towards more flexible travel plans, while round-trip tickets dipped marginally to 70.37%.
Destination trends reveal a sustained interest in long-haul, purpose-driven travel to countries like the Philippines, India, Italy, Nigeria, the UK, and US. However, Canada saw a significant 164% year-over-year growth, with Mexico (+59%) and Vietnam (+50%) also emerging as popular destinations. Meanwhile, Turkey dropped from the top 10 destinations, and Thailand entered, growing by 24% interest. Italy experienced a 24% decline in demand.
These patterns demonstrate travelers’ preferences for culturally rich, accessible travel hubs and a shift away from some traditional hotspots.
The average trip duration for economy class passengers decreased by 1.85 days in H1 of 2025 vs. 2024, amounting to 26.41 days. Similarly, the average trip duration for business class passengers decreased by 0.73 days, with 22.41 days being the average period customers currently spend abroad.
Alex Weinstein, the founder of Dyninno Group of Companies, stated that a more deliberate traveler is emerging, planning earlier, traveling slightly shorter but more often, and seeking a balance between value and comfort. The most significant growth in demand has been seen in the 21-30 day booking window, which recorded a 7.41% increase, and more than 31% of passengers continue to book their trips over 90 days in advance. The 11-20 day booking window experienced a 5.25% growth in demand.
Overall, Trevolution Group’s results illustrate a move towards premium travel, increased flexibility with ticket types, and evolving destination preferences focused on meaningful, long-haul and culturally immersive trips, reflecting broader global travel trends.
