Airline Carriers: Future Estimations
Currently, Europe is facing a stern economic and political crisis. This has affected several domains of the economic activities of the continent and of the world in general. Airlines are amongst the domains that have been affected. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA) profitability of airlines for 2011 remains weak but unchanged at $6.9 billion for a net margin of 1.2%. Looking ahead to 2012, IATA downgraded its central forecast for airline profits from $4.9 billion to $3.5 billion for a net margin of 0.6%. Nevertheless, if the Eurozone crisis evolves into a full-blown banking crisis and European recession, IATA estimates that global aviation industry may suffer losses exceeding $8 billion in 2012.

Global Air Transport Market: Latest Developments
The Global air transport market has been affected by the weak global economic performance. The airline share prices, according to the Bloomberg global index lost further ground in December 2011, falling by 3%. Nevertheless, airlines have done quite well in Q3, with a sample of 61 carriers reporting $5 billion in net profits, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Significant differentiations have been observed between different regions. This can be attributed to the fact that currently European Union is harder hit by the economic crisis, thus creating a volatile economic climate in the continent.
