Additionally, they should proactively augment their fleet with additional aircraft to meet peak-season demands and accommodate night flights to cater to passenger preferences.
Proactive media engagement is also emphasized, with airlines encouraged to provide transparent updates on their transport and ticketing operations, as well as offer guidance to passengers purchasing tickets during peak travel seasons.
Furthermore, airlines are to collaborate with tourism agencies, local governments, and other relevant entities to promote travel destinations, programs, and products. This collaborative effort aims to stimulate tourism and facilitate reduced airfare options.
