ʻO ka hapa nui o ka poʻe e mālama ana i nā lā hoʻomaha e koho i kahi pālule flexi. ʻOiai ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka maʻi ahulau, e waiho ana ka hoʻoneʻe maʻalahi a me ka hoʻopaʻa inoa hou ʻana no nā lā nui o ka pūʻolo, e like me nā ʻoihana alakaʻi e hana nei i ITB Berlin MAAIIA.
I kēia manawa ʻaʻole ʻo TUI a me DER Touristik e noʻonoʻo e kau i ka palena manawa no nā uku flexi. Ua hōʻike ʻo Marek Andryszak, CEO o TUI Deutschland, he 80 kenetene o nā mea kūʻai aku i hoʻopaʻa i ka huakaʻi me TUI mai ka lā 1 Pepeluali i koho i kahi pākaʻi flexi. He ʻano like ia me DER Touristik, kahi he 70 kenetene o ke kiʻi, hōʻike ʻo Ingo Burmester, CEO ʻo Central Europe.
ʻAʻole kapa ʻo Studiosus-Reisen iā ia he uku flexi, ke kuhikuhi nei i kahi "Coronavirus goodwill package" a, e like me ka luna kūʻai aku ʻo Guido Wiegand, hiki ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia me ka loaʻa ʻole o nā kumu kūʻai hou aʻe. Pau kēia hāʻawi ma ka hopena o 2021. Manaʻo ʻelua hapakolu o nā mea kūʻai aku e kali a hiki i ka wā o ka lāʻau ʻana i mua o ka hoʻopaʻa paʻa ʻana.
E pili ana i ka hopena o ka hoʻokele waiwai, hōʻike ʻo Burmester ʻo nā kumukūʻai i hoʻohui ʻia "ma ka hopena haʻahaʻa o ka pae loaʻa kālā", no ka mea kau ʻia kēlā me kēia rebooking i nā kumukūʻai ma DER ma luna o ka helu paʻa. "ʻO ka poʻe e uku i kahi pālule flexi a laila kāpae ʻia i hāʻawi ʻāpana ʻia e ka poʻe hōʻole ʻole", ʻae ʻo Andryszak.
Mālama ʻo ia i ka makemake no ka palekana hou aʻe ʻaʻole ia ma hope o ka hopena o ka ʻike maikaʻi ʻole me ka makemake o ka ʻoihana e uku i ka wā o ka laka mua. "Manaʻo wau he nui ka poʻe i kala iā mākou." Kuhi ʻo ia i nā mea kūʻai aku "e uku i ka mokulele 100 kenetene o ka uku". Manaʻo ʻo Burmester e loli ana ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā ʻano ʻoihana o nā ʻoihana, ʻo ia hoʻi e pili ana i ka uku mua a me ka uku mua. Ua hoʻoweliweli ʻo ia iā ia, ma ke kaulike, e ʻoi aku ke kiʻekiʻe o nā koina, akā ʻaʻole i hōʻike ʻia i ka ʻehia pākēneka.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- He maintains that the desire for more security is not an after-effect of the negative experience with the industry's willingness to pay during the first lockdown.
- Regarding the economic impact, Burmester reports that the added costs are “at the lower end of the profitability scale”, because each rebooking also imposes costs on DER which are above the fixed rate.
- Marek Andryszak, CEO of TUI Deutschland, reports that 80 per cent of the customers who have booked travel with TUI since 1 February have chosen a flexi fare.
