Air Travel Payment Trends: 2022 vs 2023
Air Travel Payment Practices See Marginal Improvement: 2023 Edges Out 2022 by 0.4 Points
The Comparison
- 2022: Assessed 62 companies with an average payment practices score of 62.6 out of 100.
- 2023: Assessed 55 companies with an average payment practices score of 63.0 out of 100.
What This Means
The increase of 0.4 points suggests a very slight positive shift in payment practices within the air travel sector, though the impact of 7 fewer companies being assessed in 2023 should be considered. While technically an improvement, this marginal change should not be seen as a substantial gain in overall payment efficiency.
