Overview
Aviation trends
The global airline industry continues to grow rapidly, but consistent and robust profitability is elusive. Measured by revenue, the industry has doubled over the past decade, from US$369 billion in 2004 to a projected $746 billion in 2014, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Much of the growth of aviation has been driven by low-cost carriers (LCCs), which now control some 25 percent of the worldwide market and have been expanding operations rapidly in emerging markets; growth also came from continued gains by carriers in developed markets, the IATA reported. Yet profit margins are still low, at less than 3 percent overall.
