OAG November figures

OAG reports that airlines worldwide for the month of November will operate 1% more flights as compared to November 2008.  In some ways the OAG figure is a more accurate appraisal of airline activities as it shows the actual seats on offer rather than passengers flow.  The OAG statistics covers all airline rather than just IATA members.  The current star is the Middle East is with flights up by 19% and seats on offer a dramatic increase of 23% over the same period as last year.  North America, the largest market of all, shows little signs of recovery with flights down 2% and seats by 3%.  On the normally most lucrative North Atlantic it is 4% and 3% respectively. www.oag.com
