"including new open‑jaw options that offer highly port‑intensive destination itineraries"

An open‑jaw is a travel itinerary where the outbound and return flights don’t connect the same pair of cities — for example flying A→B and returning C→A, with the traveler covering the gap between B and C by other means. For investors, open‑jaw bookings matter because they influence how airlines and travel companies price tickets, allocate seats, form partnerships and generate ancillary revenue, so a high or rising share can affect route profitability and yield management.
