Premium air travel sees reversal of fortunes

[SINGAPORE] The outlook for premium air travel remains broadly positive, but improvements seen in late 2013 have shown some reversal, said the International Air Transport Association (Iata).

Growth in the number of passengers travelling in premium seats in international markets narrowed to 1.9 per cent year on year in March, compared to February's 4.1 per cent growth.

In March, premium travel within the Far East slowed significantly, contracting 2.2 per cent compared to last year.
