Reid Moody, the airline's Chief Strategy and Planning Officer said demand is strong for St Patrick's Day weekend, where the extra bank holiday is giving people an incentive to go away.
Weekend breaks abroad and ski breaks are also popular, according to Mr Moody, while many families appear to be planning to travel during the February midterm. Speaking on Morning Ireland, Ms Duggan said they have seen increased bookings with the announcement of the additional bank holiday in March."So we're seeing an increase from 2019, anything up to 20% of increase."However, she said they are concerned about the over 55s and the active retirement market, which she said they have not seen the return of since the pandemic began.
