Asia-Pacific tops in March traffic growth
Asia-Pacific showed the strongest growth in passenger traffic in March compared with all other regions, fuelled by a rise in intra-Asia and Asia-Europe route volumes. Asia-Pacific demand, measured in revenue passenger kilometres, in March jumped 10.7% year-on-year, according to figures from IATA. That growth was above the global average of 6.8% recorded for the month. Latin America was the second best performer with 7.8% growth in March, followed by Europe (6%), Africa (4.9%), the Middle East (4.7%) and North America (3.2%). March's global demand growth represented a moderate slowdown relative to February's performance after adjusting for the distortion in year-to-year comparisons owing to the extra day in Feb 2016, said IATA analysts. <br/>
