CAPA – Centre for Aviation, the world’s leading source of aviation market intelligence and a part of the Aviation Week Network, has announced the launch of its new series of informational and educational papers, the “CAPA Explains” series. This series of papers aims to help audiences understand the travel distribution ecosystem in its entirety, highlighting different perspectives and explaining the implications of changes and shifts in dynamics for all constituents involved in the ecosystem, from travel principals and system intermediaries to participants in distribution and the end-use traveller.
The “CAPA Explains” series offers an independent and comprehensive insight into the ongoing major changes taking place in the way the aviation industry buys, sells, and distributes its content. The series is presented in a simple, clear, and concise manner, making it easy for audiences to understand the complex and ever-evolving travel distribution ecosystem.
Editions during 2023 will cover the following topics:
- Money Flows in the Aviation Industry
- Travel Demand and Supply in a Rapidly Changing World
- Changes in Travel Distribution During & Post Pandemic
- Airline Direct vs Indirect Distribution Share Shift
To ensure that the series remains relevant to the industry, each edition will be updated every six months to include the latest information and trends. The series will continue to expand in 2024 with the introduction of new editions and themes.
The “CAPA Explains” series will be of great benefit to a wide range of audiences, including airlines and other travel providers, travel technology suppliers, travel intermediaries such as online travel agencies, corporate travel buyers and vendors, and corporate travellers. The series will also be of interest to stakeholders in the environment, governance, and sustainability sectors.
Readers of the “CAPA Explains” series will be able to consolidate their learning about the travel distribution ecosystem into a single source, saving them time and effort. The series will provide valuable insights to help develop strategies to capitalize on changes in the travel distribution ecosystem or mitigate negative impacts.
The “CAPA Explains” series was launched in March 2023 at the CAPA Airline Leader Summit: Airlines in Transition event in Budapest. The first edition, “Money Flows in the Aviation Industry (and the implications of change on all constituents in the ecosystem),” is available for purchase on the CAPA website.
