| IATA Sees Passenger Traffic Rise
IATA Sees Passenger Traffic Rise Quote:
International air passenger traffic rose for the first time in seven months during September as the airline industry recovered from SARS and the Iraq war earlier this year, global airline body IATA said Monday.
Overall September passenger traffic rose one percent against the same month of 2002, said the Geneva-based International Air Transport Association, which represents over 270 airlines comprising 99 percent of scheduled international air traffic.
September saw a rebound from the 0.3 percent year-on-year decline in August and is a big turnaround from May, when traffic fell 21 percent as millions of travellers cancelled flights because of the SARS scare.
