Media GPS

Connecting travellers' media consumption with verified flight details

BVA BDRC

Media GPS (Global Passenger Survey) is an innovative new global research study that measures the media consumption of the 9.9 million adults who are booked on an international flight each week.

The survey has an upmarket bias. This is because we only spoke to verified international travellers who book through a travel agent. Business trips account for almost half of the flights booked.

Crucially the survey connects people’s media consumption with the details of their flight booking. This allows for a unique depth of analysis by route, airline and class of travel. The resulting dataset is invaluable for media owners, advertisers and media agencies.
