Welcome to Air Monitor
Air Monitor is Amex GBT Consulting’s forecast for air fares across the world. Here, you’ll find analysis of the factors driving prices and advice from our air specialists to help you build an effective air program. Our data model indicates that air fare increases will level off globally in 2025, continuing the moderation trend that started in 2024. But look closer, and the picture becomes more complex. Another area for focus is the shifting airline distribution landscape; this evolves all the time, creating new challenges for how you build and maintain your air program. There’s never been more need for an ongoing program management approach that lets you flex to manage the unexpected. Get in touch with Amex GBT Consulting to find out how we can help you meet these changes.
