"January's results represent a promising start to air travel in 2024 as we approach the first busy travel period," ARC chief commercial officer Steve Solomon said. "We are already seeing a spike in ticket transactions to popular spring break destinations like Cancun, Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Business travel also had a solid month with corporate travel agency-settled trips increasing 7% year over year."
