Airlines Are Picking Routes Based on Family Travel Patterns

Airlines Are Picking Routes Based on Family Travel Patterns Kristin Braswell © Barichivich / Getty Images Although most air travelers were grounded in 2020, those who did fly this year were provided an opportunity to reconnect with their roots, return to ancestral homes, and visit friends and relatives abroad. What started as demand for specially coordinated repatriation flights for those stranded abroad amid the unfurling COVID-19 crisis became the inspiration for lucrative new international routes. Carriers have capitalized on this trend by creating new routes for diaspora populations seeking not only refuge from the pandemic, but also a rekindling of cultural bonds. One of the most prominent examples? United Airlines. After operating more than 1,300 repatriation flights from 20 countries, the Chicago-based carrier announced in September that it would launch three new nonstop routes in spring of 2021, specifically centered around serving the African diaspora.
