US EditionTransatlantic Airfares Fall to Pre-Pandemic Levels as European Demand Drops
- In May 2025, the number of international travelers arriving in the US declined by 2.8%, with visitors from Western Europe decreasing by 4.4%, based on data from the US government.
- This decline follows a 17% year-over-year drop in Western European arrivals in March and coincides with factors including a stronger US dollar and political tensions.
- In May, the number of travelers arriving from Eastern Europe increased by 4.6%, while several U.S. airlines noted a rise in American passengers flying to Europe, despite overall declines in European travel to the U.S.
- According to travel app Hopper, this summer’s average cost for round-trip flights between the US and Europe has dropped by about 10% compared to last year, reaching $817, which aligns with fares seen before the pandemic in 2019.
- Industry experts expect 2025 to be a tougher year to profit on transatlantic routes due to fewer European travelers and slower US growth, while forward bookings indicate continued inbound travel declines.
