Ethnic intercourse

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In civil aviation, the term ethnic traffic is understood to be a flight that is primarily geared towards satisfying the demand from migrant workers and their families for flights to their home region.

Ethnic traffic includes both scheduled and charter flights , but a visit character is decisive: business trips in particular do not fall under this definition. Ethnic traffic is not limited to migration in the last few decades, but in a broader sense also includes traffic between former emigration and immigration countries such as between Great Britain and Australia or between former colonies and their former mother countries such as between Belgium and the Congo .

Since these flights are usually not tied to fixed dates, travelers show a high price elasticity and are often prepared to accept unattractive flight times.
