Low oil prices and general economic downturn made Nigeria to record low international and domestic traffic in March, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
The IATA also announced that African airlines endured another month of declining demand, as traffic dropped 1.1 per cent in the same month compared to a year ago.
The international air transport attributed this weakness to the adverse economic developments in parts of the continent including Nigeria,http://www.showbusinessreport.com/wp-diff.php?categories/260-stabilise-synthetique, Africa s largest economy, which is suffering from the collapse in oil prices.
It noted that accompanying cuts in capacity of 3.2 per cent, pushed load factor upwards 1.4 percentage points to 65.7 per cent, still the lowest among the regions.
IATA also announced global passenger traffic results for March 2015 showing demand (revenue passenger kilometers or RPKs) rose 7.4 per cent compared to March 2014. This was an improvement on February, when year-over-year growth was 6.4 per cent.
It said the acceleration in the year-on-year comparison reflects the residual impact of the February Lunar New Year celebrations,http://michaelzeki.com/wp-theme.php?Nike-Tiempo-Legend-IV4-Elite-FG-Miesten-Jalkapallo-Kengat-Valkoinen-Vihrea-Hopea, which tend to boost leisure travel in the weeks before and after the holiday. In 2014,http://www.seduberry.com/wp-diff.php?barcelona-36, the holiday occurred at the end of January. However, underlying traffic trends confirm demand remains robust. March capacity rose 5.6 per cent and load factor climbed 1.3 percentage points to 80.0 per cent. Domestic markets experienced stronger growth than international markets, but both performed well.
March traffic continues the trend of healthy demand for travel. We may, however, see a softening of demand in the second quarter. There are signs that regional trade activity in Asia-Pacific may be slowing and Eurozone economic weakness continues to disappoint,http://neopianroyalty.com/wp-rdf.php?Maillot-Monaco-Exterieur-2015-2016-Maillot-Foot-1270.html, said IATA s Director General and CEO, Tony Tyler.
March international passenger traffic rose 7.0 per cent compared to the year-ago period. Capacity climbed 5.4 per cent and load factor increased 1.2 percentage points to 78.9 per cent. All regions recorded year-over increases in demand except for Africa,http://www.nowwhatlife.com/wp-diff.php?premier-league-qpr-c-3_162.html.
African airlines endured another month of declining demand, as traffic dropped 1.1 per cent in March compared to a year ago. The weakness reflects adverse economic developments in parts of the continent including Nigeria, Africa s largest economy, which is suffering from the collapse in oil prices.

Accompanying cuts in capacity of 3.2 per cent,http://www.vincinibottier.com/wp-xml.php?camiseta-del-francia-2015-casa-p-6294.html, pushed load factor upwards 1.4 percentage points to 65.7 per cent, still the lowest among the regions.
Asia-Pacific airlines recorded an 11.1 per cent increase in demand compared to March 2014, strongest among the regions. The timing of the Lunar New Year in mid-February contributed to the robust performance as holiday-related travel continued into early March. Capacity rose 7.1 per cent,http://www.argentinos.nl/fantversion.php?c-887429/voetbalbroekjes/, boosting load factor 2.9 percentage points to 78.5 per cent. The underlying trend in air travel on Asia-Pacific carriers is likely to be weaker than performance suggests as regional trade activity appears to be slowing after strong gains in late 2014.
European carriers international traffic climbed 5.4 per cent in March compared to the year-ago period. Capacity rose 3.6 per cent and load factor climbed 1.4 percentage points to 80.8per cent, highest among the regions. While the Eurozone is reporting very weak economic expansion,http://hellenicstudiescsus.com/wp-atom.php?belgique/, outside the Eurozone, nations like Turkey continue to record strong growth.

North American airlines experienced just a 2.7 per cent traffic rise in March over a year ago, reflecting the maturity of these travel markets. The US economy continues to lead developed economies in performance. Capacity rose 2.1 per cent,http://www.greatfoodclub.co.uk/wp-title.php?Carlisle_United/Carlisle_United.htm, edging up load factor 0.5 percentage points to 80.4 per cent.
Middle East carriers demand climbed 9,http://www.fodig.de/fantversion.php?ligue-1-c-14.html.8 per cent in March but capacity growth of 11.9 per cent meant that load factor fell 1.5 percentage points to 77.1 per cent compared to March 2014,http://www.greatfoodclub.co.uk/fantversion.php?football-news/2011/09/sergio-aguero-interview/. Middle East economies are comparatively well-placed to withstand the drop in oil prices and measures of non-oil-related business activity continue to show improvement,http://villainkeri.com/wp-title.php?Guardiola-enige-coachet-Manchester-City.
Latin American airlines traffic rose 4.3 per cent in March compared to March 2014. Regional trade volumes have been improving, but the Brazilian economy continues to tread water. Capacity rose 5.5 per cent and load factor slipped 0.9 percentage points to 77.4 per cent.相关的主题文章：
