Posted 06/08/2011

Airports Council International's World Annual Traffic Report released this month details a "strong rebound from the two-year industry slump," the organization noted, pointing out that worldwide airport passengers increased 6.6% in 2010 compared to 2009 to reach 5.04 billion for the full year. That marked the most passengers ever in a single year.

"Cargo volumes also hit a record, surging past 91 million tonnes with 15.3% growth," ACI stated. "Once again, our industry has shown its resiliency in recovering from a downturn."
