More than 40 Airlines have shut shop worldwide because of Global Aviation Recession
--
Passenger
traffic is expected to decline by 4 per cent and cargo by 14 per cent
for 2009. Yields are expected to fall by 12 per cent for passenger and
15 per cent for cargo. The fall in passenger yield is led by the 20 per
cent drop in demand for premium travel. Cargo utilisation remains at
less than 50 per cent despite the removal of 227 freighters from the
global fleet. There is little hope for an early recovery in yields in
either the passenger or cargo markets.
In addition to these, Aviation Turbine Fuel prices
are still ruling high adding to the costs. There is no justification for
higher prices as oil prices have fallen. Worldwide, Airlines have lost
in fuel bill in 2009 and $16.8b in 2008.
