Business vs. Leisure Passengers. In general, all else being equal, business travellers are less sensitive to price changes (less elastic) than leisure travellers. Business travellers generally have less flexibility to postpone or cancel their travel than leisure travellers.
Short-Haul vs. Long-Haul Travel. Price elasticities on short-haul routes were generally higher than on long-haul routes. In part, this reflects the opportunity for inter-modal substitution on short-haul routes.
