Mumbai: Passenger load factors have continued to remain high at close to 80 percent globally, said International Air Transport Association (IATA) airlines financial monitor for May-June 2013.
``Over the month, most regions experienced a rise in load factors, with Latin American airlines seeing the strongest rise—both from solid demand and tight capacity management,'' it said. Passenger yields turned up during the last quarter of 2012, and have shown improvement in 2013, consistent with stronger traffic demand and higher load factors.
``The most recent data shows some softening in US yields, but that is likely reflecting the fall in jet fuel prices in Q2,'' it said.
