International market travel, driven by a long-awaited rebound in intra-Europe traffic, received a welcomed boost in May, but the premium share of loads continued to lag, IATA data show. “The key driver of the faster growth in international air travel is acceleration [in] the Europe market,” IATA noted. “In May, the market was up 5.1%, almost double the rate of growth seen year-to-date, supported by gains in business confidence. which confirm that the economic recovery is on track.”
An Aviation Daily analysis of FAA’s recently released preliminary 2014 enplanement figures shows relative health shared nearly equally among the nation’s large hubs.
