Air transport: Iata, profits down in 2013, but the improvement trend continues also in 2014

2013 will close for airlines in decline, with profits of 11,7 billion dollars and revenues of 708 billion. In June, the estimate had been 12,7 billion in profits, but today the International Air Transport Association, which released the data, revised the forecasts downwards.

However, this is a growing result compared to the net profit of 7,4 billion in 2012. The improvement trend should continue until 2014, when - this is the estimate - we will reach a net profit of 16,4 billion dollars.
