According to Bloomberg’s latest report, at the Skift Global Forum in New York on Wednesday, a United Airlines executive claimed having seen a whopping 25% bump in weekend flight demand whenever Taylor Swift performs the Eras Tour abroad. Andrew Nocella, the airline’s chief commercial officer, noted that this concert craze is not just international; it is shaking up domestic travel too.
Ticket sales for flights to her US concert stop ahead of the Miami show are flying high, with flights to Indianapolis, Miami, and New Orleans already 70% full. Normally, those flights would not even crack 50% this far out. With market research firm QuestionPro estimating that her Eras Tour could inject a cool $5 billion into the global economy, these reports are the latest proof that the pop artist is a true economic superstar.
While United did not schedule extra flights just for the Swifties, another airline has stepped up to the plate.

While her economic impact and Harvard study fame might be in the rearview mirror, Swift is already making the airline industry bow down. CBS News reported in July that Southwest Airlines jumped on the Swiftie train, announcing extra flights to meet the soaring demand for her Miami and New Orleans shows this October.
Riding the wave from last year’s Eras Tour, they have added over 10 flights to help fans reach their star-studded destinations, and fans can book them right away.
