Strong occupancy

He added that ticket prices during this period are witnessing a remarkable increase, due to the high demand to return, pointing out that the demand exceeds the supply to some destinations, which drives prices to higher levels than usual.
Mansour advised the customers who are currently wishing to travel, to stay away from several dates this current and next weeks, to obtain tickets at lower prices.

For his part, the general manager of Al -Awadi Travel Company, Amin Al -Awadi, said that the leave season always witnesses a dense travel movement from and to the Emirates, especially during holidays and occasions.
He added that the occupancy rates on return trips remain strong, although they are less severe than going, due to the distribution of trips on several days, but this does not prevent that many trips may be completely full.
Al -Awadi pointed out that the Arab destinations such as Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon, in addition to tourist destinations such as Georgia, Azerbaijan and Thailand, are witnessing high occupancy rates currently on returning trips to the Emirates, and many other markets around the world.
He stated that the airlines data showed that the periods of holidays and school holidays have become an annual peak seasons, during which the state is witnessing annual growth in the movement of travel, with an increase in the number of flights and passengers, which requires passengers early planning, and flexibility in travel times to avoid congestion or high costs.
