United Airlines doesn’t have any bad blood with Taylor Swift, quite the contrary, as the pop star is driving up demand for its flights.<\/p>\n

At a travel industry conference Wednesday, United said it has seen a 25% uptick in demand for flights on weekends during which Swift has held concerts abroad. Swift is having a similar effect on domestic travel too, Andrew Nocella, the airline’s EVP and chief commercial officer, added.<\/p>\n

Swift is an economic force of her own, driving up spending and\u00a0boosting the local economies<\/a><\/span>\u00a0wherever she performs. Market research firm QuestionPro estimated that all told, her Eras Tour could help add\u00a0$5 billion to the global economy.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

While United hasn’t added flights expressly for Swift’s concerts, at least one other airline has.<\/p>\n

Budget carrier\u00a0Southwest this summer said it was adding flights<\/a><\/span>\u00a0to accommodate strong demand for travel to Swift’s performances in Miami and New Orleans in October.<\/p>\n
