Question 'Airport more important than airline' - poll of business travellers


The choice of airport is more important than choice of airline, according to a poll of business travellers.



The survey of 500 regular travellers by SAS found that 75% of respondents make business travel arrangements based on a particular airport preference and not on airlines.



Additionally, 65% of business travellers revealed that speed and efficiency of airport check-in procedures was crucial to their travel.



When travelling to the airport the majority still use private taxi (43%), with 35% using public transport, and 22% by private car.



Most prefer to maximize time at home when having to travel on business with 79% travelling from home to their departure airport, rather than going direct from the office.



The Scandinavian airline's UK & Ireland general manager Lars Ove-Filipson said: "These results demonstrate that time is crucial to today's business traveller. Airlines and airports which help travellers to maximise their time will win loyal customers."

Would you say that this is true, when you are on a business trip, is the airport more important?

I often get to travel for business but i don't make my choice based on airports. I do my choice according to the airlines. An airport stays an airport to me and i never spend long in them so....
