International demand for flights in June 2010 increased by 11.9 per cent compared to the same time last year, suggests the International Air Traffic Association (IATA).
On July 28th, IATA revealed that air travel is starting to improve after the recession and that one of the most popular destinations was Asia.
The region has experienced a 15.5 per cent growth in passenger numbers, possibly transporting people who want to teach English, and China continued to be the most appealing location.
Giovanni Bisignani, chief executive and director general of IATA, said: “The question is how long can the industry maintain the double-digit momentum.
”Business confidence remains high and there is no indication that the recovery will stall any time soon."
The firm found that passenger numbers did decline in April due to the volcanic ash cloud that caused airports across the world to grind to a halt but some companies such as Easyjet were not affected.
People teaching English abroad may like to travel with Easyjet as it seems to be doing well.
It reported a five per cent increase in profit in the three months ending in June, reports the Guardian.
