(MENAFN) The International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) director general and CEO, Tony Tyler, said that Middle East carriers posted a traffic growth of 12.4 percent in October, reported Arabian Business.
Tyler said that capacity climbed by 12.1 percent in the period, whereas load factor edged up 0.2 percent to 75 percent.
Moreover, cargo traffic jumped 13.4 percent, with capacity up 8.6 percent, and load factor growing to 45.4 percent.
