Air Travel Demand Tempered By Transaero, Lufthansa

Demand for air travel slowed in November from the previous month, muted by the halt of operations by Transaero and strikes at Lufthansa, IATA said.

Demand for air travel, measured in revenue passenger kilometres, rose 5.9 percent in November, compared with a 7.1 percent gain recorded in October.

The 2015 year-to-date increase was 6.7 percent, IATA said in its monthly traffic figures.
