IATA – Airlines on course to fly in to the black next year
December 14th, 2006Having lost US$41 billion since 2001, the world’s airline industry is poised to reduce its loss to $500 million this year and to report its first profit since 2000 with $2.5 billion next year. The latest projection by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) for this year was much better than its previous forecast made in September when it came out with a $1.7-billion loss projection.
Barring the $6-billion cost restructuring at Delta and Northwest in the US under Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, 2006 would have been a profitable year for the industry, IATA director-general Giovanni Bisignani said on Tuesday.
