Demand for air travel picks-up in August

Nairobi; Kenya: The International Air Transport Association (IATA) says global passenger traffic results for August showed a ‘slight pick-up’ in demand over the previous month.

IATA says total revenue passenger kilometres (RPKs) increased 5.9 per cent compared to August 2013, above the 5.4 per cent year-over-year rise recorded in July.
“August was a good month right across the industry.

We should, however, keep an eye on potential downside risks,” said Tony Tyler, IATA’s director general and CEO.
