IAG: "Group premium traffic for the month of September grew by 9.3% compared to the previous year, with 3.5% growth in non-premium traffic. September performance represented a slight improvement over August in terms of the rates of change compared to last year. Indications so far for October point to a softer demand picture in premium traffic and cargo. We remain on course to produce significant growth in operating profit in 2011 compared to 2010."
