Nature Of Air Transportation Industry:

Air travel in the U.S. grew at a rapid pace until 2001, expanding from 172 million passenger enplanements in 1970 to nearly 615 million in 2000. However, over the next 3 years, a combination of factors—the events of September 11th, 2001, an economic recession, and other factors—combined to reduce traffic back to 1995 levels. Nevertheless, air travel remains one of the most popular modes of transportation.

The airline industry faces many challenges in the future. Airlines must focus on cost control, cash preservation and cautious growth. The goal of the industry is to be prepared to respond quickly to economic recovery. Passenger volume should slowly improve, but it will take longer for rapid employment growth to return to the air transportation industry.
