Premium traffic growth continues; expected to slow following rebound
IATA, in its Premium Traffic Monitor for Jun-2010, stated there was "another rise" in international passengers in Jun-2010, with the numbers travelling in premium seats 16.6% higher on a year-on-year basis, while economy traffic increased 9.5%. Despite this upward trend, which correlates with improved economic conditions, IATA warned that the pace of growth now appears to be slowing, following a “very strong” post-recession rebound in travel.
