travel up nearly 6%, the growth trend shows no signs of abating.
Airlines are doing everything they can to ensure smooth journeys
for all travelers over the peak northern summer period. But our

already being tested,” stated Willie Walsh, IATA’s Director Common.

in Europe even before the peak season begins, it is clear that
Europe’s ANSPs have unresolved challenges. And the 32,000 flight
delays over the Memorial Day weekend in May show that challenges
persist in the US too. Airlines are accountable to their
