Deep frustration with the U.S. air travel system caused American travelers to avoid taking an estimated 41 million trips over the 12 months to the end of April, a survey commissioned by the Travel Industry Association suggests. Americans' unwillingness to take domestic flights cost the U.S. economy more than $26 billion, according to the Washington, D.C.-based Travel Industry Association (TIA). The 1,003 air travelers who responded to the survey, conducted by the bipartisan polling firms of Peter D. Hart Research Associates and The Winston Group, also expressed little optimism for positive change, with nearly half saying that the air travel system is not likely to improve in the near future.
