ACI EUROPE, the airport trade organisation, has revealed that the overall passenger traffic at European airports decreased by -2.1% in October 2009 compared with October 2008. This was the 14th month of traffic decline. The accumulated figure for passenger traffic January to October 2009 decreased by -7.2% compared with the corresponding period 2008. It is clear that the European airports are not out of the woods yet in financial terms and the year-end figures will be scrutinised very carefully. www.aci-europe.org
