Traffic remains stubbornly low in May| Traffic remains stubbornly low in May - 03/07/2009 GENEVA, 03 July 2009 – Airport traffic results for May 2009 remain markedly lower than traffic levels of May 2008. Persistent economic uncertainty and the H1N1 virus have taken a toll on demand. Airports participating in the passenger and freight “flash” reports recorded an overall 8 percent decrease in passenger traffic as compared to May 2008, with international traffic declining by 9 percent and domestic traffic by 7 percent. | |
| Total freight handled worldwide fell by 16 percent compared to May 2008, with international freight down by 19 percent and domestic by 10 percent. However, May performance has added to stabilization of global freight volumes, in part as a result of further softening declines of international freight even though domestic freight has stagnated for three months now. | |
