Middle East airlines beat global trend on growth - The National

Middle East airlines led the world in passenger traffic growth for September, the International Air Transport Association (Iata) said yesterday.

According to Iata's global traffic returns, demand for Middle East airlines rose 13.3 per cent year-on-year compared to worldwide demand for passenger traffic of just 4.1 per cent above September 2011 levels.

For air cargo, demand growth was even weaker globally, at 0.6 per cent, said Iata, but the Middle East's carriers had a 16.3 per cent rise in cargo demand on a 6.9 per cent increase in capacity.
