ATA predicts qrowth but is wary of risinq fuel costs

摘要

The Airport Transportation Association of America (ATA) has reported that cargo traffic among U.S. airlines rose 5 percent year-over-year in January on the strength of international traffic. These numbers, when added to the 13 percent year-over-year passenger revenue increase experienced in February, signal good news to John Heimlich, ATA's vice president and chief economist. However, he warns, rising fuel costs could affect future growth.
