Bradley International Airport wants to expand its leisure travel offerings as an increasing number of newly COVID-19-vaccinated people itch to take vacations they’ve postponed for more than a year.
That’s a shift for the Windsor Locks-based airfield, which has long depended on business travelers for the majority of its business.
In fact, about 65% of Bradley’s customers have traditionally been business travelers. But that was before the pandemic.
As the tourism industry looks to rebound from COVID-19 this spring and summer, business travel, both in Connecticut and around the globe, is expected to make a much slower comeback as companies think twice about hosting large or even small gatherings, or sending their employees to meetings and conventions.
