| The European Hit in April is (13.1%); So Far |
| Only a quarter of the European results for April are presently to hand, but the pattern is clear. Passenger numbers are down by over (13%). |
| The initial policy of zero risk has transformed the April trading period into a commercial disaster. If the Turkish airports are extracted the picture is even worse with a (19%) decline registered. |
| The effect on world traffic is exaggerated slightly by the preponderance of European results at this point in the month. |
| In happy contrast, Asia/Pacific is showing a 12.4% positive. |
