Airlines plan to set a new record for the number of passengers transported in 2024, reaching 4.7 billion people. According to the new IATA forecast, it will exceed the previous record of 2019 by 4.5 billion passengers, determining the completion of the restoration of the industry after the crisis caused by the Covid-19.
The organization also stipulates that the net income of airlines will be $ 25.7 billion next year, thanks to record income of $ 964 billion. Despite this growth, IATA Director Willie Wolsh warns about a modest clean margin of 2.7%, emphasizing the importance of a more sustained future for the global aviation industry.
North America is expected to retain leaders with a predicted net income of $ 14.4 billion next year. Meanwhile, American Express GBT reports stable tariffs in 2024, with small changes in prices for tickets in different regions of the world.
