Traffic growth slows; premium traffic and revenue remain notably below pre-crisis level: IATA

The pre-recession rebound in international air traffic is now entering a slower phase of growth after the strong post-recession rebound in 1H2009 and 1Q2010 with premium traffic remaining well off pre-recession levels. Growth in business travel continues to outpace that of economy class, although economy-class traffic is now above pre-recession highs.
