Increased fears over terror acts on commercial airliners has led to a major increase in luxury airtravel. Eos, which flies Boeing 757 jumbo jets that seat just 48 passengers, has reported an increase in reservations by over 30 percent over the next three weeks. The jump has been largely attributed to frustration and fears caused by the recently foiled terrorism plot. The airline currently flies only from London to JFK, but plans on adding fourteen more routes by 2010.
Interesting affect on the airline industry. I wonder if that is a short term reaction or maybe a longer term shift.
