Further updraught for Middle East airline passenger demand - The National:
"Middle East carriers had a 4.5 per cent increase in passenger demand for July, according to the International Air Transport Association (Iata).
This was an acceleration from the 3.6 per cent annual growth seen in June, although behind the five-year average pace of 11.2 per cent.
The Middle East to North America market has been affected by a combination of factors in 2017, Iata said, including the recently-lifted cabin ban on large portable electronic devices, as well as a wider impact from the proposed travel bans to the US. Traffic growth on the Middle East-US route was already slowing in early 2017, in line with a moderation in the pace of expansion of nonstop services flown by the largest Middle East airlines. July capacity climbed 3.6 per cent compared to a year ago and the load factor rose 0.7 percentage points to 81.5 per cent."
