The
International Air Transport Association (IATA) today announced a
revised global financial forecast predicting airline losses totaling
US$11 billion in 2009. This is US$2 billion worse than the previously
projected US$9 billion loss due to rising fuel prices and exceptionally
weak yields. Industry revenues for the year are expected to fall by
US$80 billion (15%) to US$455 billion compared with 2008 levels.
