While the industry was largely prepared to accommodate a return to pre-pandemic levels of operations, unfortunately, the same cannot be said for our infrastructure providers. Performance of some of the key air navigations services providers, for example, has been deeply disappointing for many reasons from insufficient staffing to the failure fiasco of NATS in the UK. These must be promptly corrected. Even more worrying, however, are political decisions by some governments\u2014among them Mexico and the Netherlands\u2014to impose capacity cuts at their major hubs that will most certainly destroy jobs and damage local and national economies. The numbers continue to tell us that people want and need air connectivity. That\u2019s why governments should be working with us so that people can travel safely, sustainably and efficiently,\u201d said Walsh.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced that the post-COVID recovery momentum continued in July for passenger markets. \u2022 Total traffic in July 2023 (measured in revenue passenger kilometers or RPKs) rose 26.2% compared to July 2022.
