The study of 200 corporate travel managers conducted by the National Business Travel Administration found 70% of respondents approved or partially approved of the government’s handling of airport security.

When asked what government initiatives would dramatically improve the nation’s aviation system, some 50% suggested instituting a “trusted traveller” programme.

Meanwhile, 41% said the government should not allow delays in the installation of explosive-detection equipment.

Some 68% of respondents said they would implement more conference calls if security processes impede travellers.

Some 55% said they would increase their use of the Internet and 40% said they would recommend reducing out-of-town meetings.
