The latest Airport Taxis Travel Confidence Index has revealed a significant decline in travel confidence among UK travellers during the spring months of April, May, and June 2026.
The index suggests that the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, combined with rising airline ticket prices, has contributed to this weakening of traveller confidence.
The report is based on the survey findings of traveller opinions and booking intentions, providing valuable insights into the current state of the UK travel market.

Passenger traffic figures have also been taken into account, drawing from Heathrow Airport's published traffic updates and investor reports to provide a comprehensive picture of the industry's performance.
