Iata chief says feeling in airline industry 'very positive'

Singapore

THE outlook for the airline industry remains positive this year, although risks remain in the form of a potential Grexit and the slowing Chinese economy, according to the head of an aviation association.

This year, the world's airlines are expected to clock a record US$29.3 billion in profits, up nearly 80 per cent from a year ago, thanks in part to lower fuel prices and robust load factors.
