Eurocontrol lowers 7-year traffic growth outlook
As it continues to seek ways to avoid another summer of record flight delays, Eurocontrol has published a slightly downgraded forecast for aircraft movements over the next 7 years. The European air traffic management organisation is predicting slightly slower growth rates than the previous forecast in Oct 2018. “This downwards revision is mostly notable in 2019, consistent with the economic situation, as well as the impact of Germania’s failure,” Eurocontrol said. Moreover, the uncertainty for 2019 has increased as Brexit could be worse than expected and more carriers could face bankruptcy. Instrument flight rules movements are predicted to grow 2.8% in 2019, to reach 11.31m flights in the baseline scenario. <br/>
