November 10th 2023
Members of the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA) have gathered in Singapore for its annual assembly of presidents. Read More » AAPA director general, Subhas Menon, said member airlines continued to experience strong recovery in air travel even with a dampened global economic climate. "China, accounting for a fifth of the region’s international traffic before the pandemic, is still at only 54% of 2019 levels in September 2023," Menon said. "Excluding China, recovery of the region stands at a markedly higher 87%. Nevertheless, the return of Chinese travellers in full force will kick off another significant wave of growth for the region and global tourism. The AAPA Assembly of Presidents looks forward to discussing how airlines can contribute to the full restoration of global connectivity as well as seamless, safe, and secure air transportation, as they embrace the region’s potential to return to sustainable air transport growth in 2024."
