Global airlines cut 14m summer flights
25.06.09
The level of cutbacks by airlines globally between July and the winter is equal to more than 14 million flights, according to aviation data firm OAG. This is the lowest level of flights since the second half of 2005.
The world’s airlines will offer 3.67% fewer flights and 2.76% fewer seats this summer than they did a year ago, according to the company’s calculations. A spokesman said: ‘The numbers reflect the airline industry’s attempts to adjust to a weak economic climate, but capacity still remains almost 20% higher than the levels of the early 2000s.'
