Asia Pacific air travel on the rise
Despite concerns over terrorism and bird flu, people in the Asia-Pacific region are continuing to fly, statistics show.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA), an international trade group, has released figures covering both passenger and freight air traffic for the last financial year.
IATA said passenger traffic in the Asia-Pacific region was up 4.4 per cent and freight work was up 3.5 per cent.
Despite the good news, the association’s director general, Giovanni Bisignani, said continued threats to the aviation industry along with global political tensions meant there was no room for complacency in the industry.
“For the first time in two years, Middle Eastern carriers were not the leaders in cargo or passenger growth,” Mr Bisignani said in a statement.
“The slowdown was isolated with little impact even to the regions dominant carriers.”
