AN INTERVIEW WITH L’VOYAGE<br />
How has <strong>2022</strong> been so far for L’VOYAGE?<br />
During COVID-19, many things stopped, with borders restrictions discouraging<br />
people from travelling. We saw people only taking a one-way trip; they were<br />
either trying to get out of the region, or go home. There was no real business<br />
travel and certainly no leisure-related travel at all.<br />
In <strong>2022</strong> though, many international borders began opening up, especially in<br />
Europe, the US, and some even easing in Asia, so we have seen a 100% increase<br />
in our business this year. That 100% started from a low base though, but this<br />
year we are definitely seeing a lot more regular activity.<br />
With less charter flights due to the COVID-19<br />
pandemic, did L’VOYAGE look at offering different<br />
services?<br />
We supported one way traffic this year and last year, as airlines have not been<br />
operating at their usual schedules. We had been serving new segments of the<br />
market, and new entrants to private aviation. Apart from private jet charter<br />
flights, we also provide air ticketing, hotel booking, luxury travel management,<br />
local experience packages in Hong Kong and advisory services. As our business<br />
spans across the region and internationally, we provided these services during<br />
COVID as well. In addition, we brought in many operators outside the region as<br />
many Asia-based aircraft were not flying outside the region due to restrictions<br />
at their home base.<br />
