IATA: Traffic volume is approaching pre-crisis levels

According to the latest figures from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), 2023 percent more passenger kilometers were sold in March 52,4 than in the same month last year. The traffic volume is said to have been 88 percent of the level before the corona pandemic.

From a global perspective, there should be major growth in almost all markets. The Asia-Pacific region particularly stands out. Since the corona restrictions were lifted comparatively late in this part of the world, there is obviously a great need to catch up on travel. In Europe, on the other hand, the recovery is proceeding very differently. While some markets are approaching the pre-crisis level or have long since exceeded it, Germany is holding the red lantern, because no European market is recovering more slowly than that of the Federal Republic.
