A study by the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) (2011) reveals that a high share of business travellers has a college education (71 per cent). In Luxembourg, for example, 17 per cent of all trips are business trips compared to only 3 per cent in Romania. Education and type of employment activity, however, are not the only determinants of business travel. Furthermore, a higher education level often correlates with a higher income level and hence a higher propensity to use air transport for leisure purposes as well. The current trend towards combining business and private or leisure trips (= bleisure trips) might also change passengers expectations toward the transport system within one trip. Outward flights might be for business purposes and hence, as already explored in Section I, passengers might be less sensitive to an increase in airfares as time saving and travel comfort have a higher priority. Combining business and private lives, passengers could extend their business trips to stay additional days privately. In doing so, passengers’ preferences might change, such as price sensitivity.
