Air travel picks up but high fuel price may hurt airlines -IATA


IATA director general Willie Walsh

DUBAI: The global air travel industry's recovery from the COVID pandemic was gaining momentum, but high fuel prices will put pressure on airlines, the head of the world's biggest airline trade body said on Wednesday.

Globally, passenger traffic in July was at about 75% of pre-pandemic levels, helped by strong demand for domestic services where traffic had recovered 86.9% of the level seen in July 2019, the body said.
