NEW YORK/CHICAGO - U.S. fliers still consider ticket prices the most important factor when choosing a flight, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, suggesting two fatal crashes of Boeing Co 737 MAX jets have had little impact on consumer sentiment.
To see the full results of the poll, which was conducted online in English throughout the United States and gathered responses from 2,008 adults,A Boeing spokesman declined to comment on the Reuters/Ipsos poll, but said the company is “committed to returning the MAX safely to the skies so that pilots, crew, regulators and the traveling public have total confidence in this airplane.”
Boeing’s stock has fallen about 18% since the March 10 crash, and airlines have warned that the groundings are hitting revenues, and costs, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. That does not mean all fliers ignore models, according to Steve Hafner, CEO of travel booking website KAYAK. He said the website has seen significant usage of a plane model filter it introduced after the Ethiopian crash, showing demand from some travelers.
“We don’t book the plane, we book the place,” said Allen Forrey, a 63-year-old truck driver who did not participate in the poll, after landing at Chicago’s Midway airport from Phoenix, Arizona on Southwest.
