Airfares In The U.S. Are Now Higher Than Pre-Pandemic Rates

According to Cowen & Co., average domestic airfare in major US carriers – American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines is getting as high as $384 during the week of April 11 which is 57 percent and 3 percent higher than last year and in 2019, respectively. This increase gives an early indication for the increase in rates expected in the busy summer travel season. Demand has recovered quicker than expected and airlines are not able to provide the same amount of supply/capacity to meet the demand.
