Last year will go down in history of world aviation market as the most unfortunate since the Second World War, said yesterday at the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Demand for air transport has fallen to record low levels, and carriers have lost a total of about $ 11 billion in serious difficulties for airlines and will begin in 2010, is projected at IATA: passenger transport market lost 2.5 years of growth, as freight - 3,5 years, and companies will need to continue to tightly control costs and adapt to the demand that industry losses will not exceed $ 5,6 billion
yesterday in Geneva was published the next annual report of the International Air Transport Association on the outcome of international air transport industry. 2009 will be remembered not only the huge losses the airlines and the general erosion of the market - according to IATA, he will go down in history as the worst for the industry since the Second World War. IATA brings together 230 airlines, which control about 93% market share of international air travel. According to the association, last year the volume of passenger air transportation decreased in comparison with 2008 by 3,5% (with an average load factor of aircraft 75,6%), and the volume of goods - by 10,1% (49,1% at boot ). “In terms of demand in 2009 will go down in history books as the worst year in the industry. We are irretrievably lost 2.5 years of market growth of passenger traffic and 3.5 years - cargo, - the report says IATA, with reference to its director general Giovanni Bisignani.
According to the Association, last year the industry suffered a total of $ 11 billion of losses. A total of 2000-2009 years of world air transport market has lost about $ 49.1 billion, or an average of $ 5 billion a year. Problems at the airlines began after the attacks of September 11, 2001, in 2003, yet another blow to the industry caused the SARS outbreak. And only in 2007, the industry gradually began to recover, but the ensuing economic crisis led to an overall reduction in consumer activity, which was the cause of new losses.
more than any other in 2009 affected the airline in Africa, passenger demand for services which fell by 6,8%. Asia-Pacific and North American Airlines began flying to 5,8% less than men, while carriers in Europe have lost 5% of passengers compared with the previous year. Seriously affected airlines Russia - according to the Federal Air Transport Agency, Russian passenger airline in the first 11 months of 2009 decreased by 10,1%.
Ukrainian same market declined by 16.99% to 5.13 million passengers. “More than anything on the market have affected the economic situation, difficult weather conditions and the epidemiological situation in the end of the year” - State Aviation Administration reported on Monday (see Kommersant from 25 January). The fall in domestic flights reached 20.14%, to 990 thousand people, the international - 16,19%, to 4.13 million passengers. Fallen off as the volume of freight and mail - on 16,65% to 85,1 thousand tons
As noted in the IATA, in December passenger traffic increased by 1,6% compared with the rate in November and 4.5% - by December 2008, which gives some hope for the restoration of the market. But airlines do not have to relax - their combined losses this year, according to the Association, would amount to about $ 5.6 billion in the last two years, passengers are accustomed to low prices for tickets and expect that they will remain so, said Bisignani. In this case carriers would have to solve the problem of oversupply of capacity, which will grow in 2010 because most companies did not abolish the large orders and this year will receive about 1300 new aircraft. “The woba0rst behind us, but to celebrate too early. Carriers still need to adapt to new realities, they will be careful to adjust to demand and to tightly control costs. One more” spartan “year”, - said Giovanni Bisignani.
