Air passenger traffic rose by 17% in January, as IATA calls for policies to boost sector

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has called on governments across the world to enact policies that can help the aviation sector to reduce costs, and improve efficiency.

This is even as the association disclosed that 2024 has gotten off to a strong start as global flight passenger demand, measured in revenue passenger kilometres, was up by 16.6 per cent in January 2024.

The IATA, in a report released recently stated that the figure indicated a robust start to the year.
