http://www.airports.org/aci/aci/file/Press%20Releases/2010/PR_170310_PrelimResults_2009_final.pdf Communiqué de l'ACI Passenger traffic down by 2.7%; cargo down by 8.2 % Geneva, 17 March 2010 – ACI reports preliminary results of a 2.7 percent decline in global passenger traffic for 2009, reflecting steep declines in the first quarter in most regions but a return to growth activity by year-end. Total cargo volumes retracted by 8.2 percent, while aircraft movements were 5.5 percent below the 2008 level. The preliminary report is based on input from over 900 airports. ACI World Director General Angela Gittens comments, “We are pleased to see that the global results for 2009 were less depressed than originally anticipated, although the pattern was as we had forecast. We recognize the economic cautions ahead but early indications for January and February confirm continuing global traffic stabilization with reports of renewed domestic and international demand in many localities.” R
