Good Times,Warning Signs

摘要

According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a global organisation of 275 airlines carrying 83% of the world's air traffic, 2017 will be another great year for airlines. The industry in total, including non-IATA members (such as Ryanair, easyJet and Southwest Airlines), is forecast to earn $31.4 billion net profit and $55.7 billion operating profit. Both values are slightly lower than the industry's earnings in 2016, estimated by IATA at $34.8 billion and $62.1 billion respectively.
