Outlook for Holiday Air Travel Dismal
Fear of Air Travel Not Diminishing
Frequent Flyers Likely to Stay on the Ground, According to New Survey

Nearly half of all Americans who fly, including frequent business travelers, are likely to continue to reduce their air travel in the coming days and months, according to a new survey released today by Gang & Gang, Inc., a research and consulting firm that predicts people's future behavior based on their emotions and motivations.

The Gang & Gang research, conducted over the past month using an online Resonance® survey of frequent travelers, dismantles the brave exterior of the flying public -- 80 percent of whom had claimed in other surveys little or no change in air travel plans. Unlike other research in the wake of September 11, the Resonance® findings reveal a much more somber and paranoid flying public, and these profound negative feelings will continue to hurt the airline, travel and hospitality industries, as well as the economy in general.
