The International Air Transport Association (IATA) last week reported that global airline companies posted a considerable loss in the first quarter of 2012. The IATA reported that 55 airlines across the world collectively posted a net loss of over $1 billion. The results compare with a post-tax profit of $17 million in the first quarter of 2011. The European and Asian airlines suffered the biggest losses, while U.S. airlines posted a strong profit of $518 million after posting a small loss the year prior.
"The airline industry is fragile," stated Tony Tyler, IATA's director general and CEO. "Relief in oil prices provides some good news. Unfortunately, the softness in oil markets comes on the back of fears of deterioration in the European economy. Business and consumer confidence are falling. And we are seeing the first signs of that in slowing demand and softer load factors."
