Air passenger numbers rebound

The global lust for air travel has returned, according to a report from the Official Airline Guide.

Passenger numbers have bounced back to just 4% below levels seen soon ahead of the 11 September attacks on the US, the guide said.

Passenger numbers slipped sharply in the wake of the attacks with some airlines seeing their bookings reduced by up to 25% or 30%.

Interesting -- I'm surprised that we haven't heard much from airlines about increasing fleet size again and increasing the number of flights.
