Public Attitudes to Air Travel and Passenger Protection

Understanding how the public experiences air travel requires scale, consistency and strong quality control.

Methodology

Online tracking study

Study Overview

This online tracking study was designed to capture UK public attitudes towards flying, covering behaviours, barriers to travel, accessibility, recent experiences, satisfaction and disruption. It also explored emerging and regulatory topics such as complaint handling, passenger protection and the role of artificial intelligence in air travel.

How We Delivered

The study is nationally representative, with quotas on region, age, gender and employment status, and delivers 3,000 completes per wave. Running over a 30-day field period, the project has been repeated annually for three years, requiring consistent methodology and outcomes across time. Given the volume of online responses, quality control was a central focus, with ongoing checks used to remove poor-quality completes and rebalance quotas where needed.
