Rise signals global economic rally


INTERNATIONAL air passenger and freight demand rose in November, a clear sign of a global economic recovery, although the improvement was accentuated by the sharp fall in traffic at the end of 2008.

Passenger demand rose 2.1 percent in November compared to a year earlier and air freight climbed 9.5 percent, data from the International Air Transport Association showed yesterday.

"Demand continues to improve, but we still have a lot of ground ... to recover. We cannot anticipate any significant improvement in yields in the coming months," said IATA chief Giovanni Bisignani.
