While digital and social media marketing can help reach billions of people online, inflight entertainment offers something unique: access to 800 million people who are already in travel mode. These travelers, representing just 10% of the global population, are not passively scrolling through social media—they’re actively thinking about travel and are in the perfect mindset to consider new destinations.
With 4.5 billion flights being taken each year, inflight marketing offers a rare chance to engage travelers at one of the most crucial moments of their journey: when they’re seeking destination information, entertainment, and inspiration. Captive audiences onboard airlines are naturally more receptive to engaging with content that could shape their future travel plans.
