Middle East: Regional airlines see almost no passenger traffic growth in May – IATA
Airlines in the Middle East saw passenger demand in May grow by just 0.8% compared to May 2017, the slowest growth across all the regions worldwide, according to the latest report issued by IATA. The slow growth in May comes after regional carriers recorded 2.9% annual growth recorded in April. “The earlier timing of Ramadan this year may have affected the result, but more broadly, the upward trend in traffic has slowed compared to last year,” IATA said. Capacity in May increased by 3.7%, and load factor fell 1.9 percentage points to 67.5%. Globally, international passenger traffic demand rose 5.8%, up from 4.6% growth in April. <br/>
