Iberia: "The aviation transport industry is especially sensitive to economic conditions, and the outlook for global economic growth continues to be uncertain and subject to significant risk. A key aspect of the future outlook for the air transport sector is the level of uncertainty concerning recovery rates for both tourist and business class demand. The reduction in business class passengers has been substantial throughout 2009 and has had a knock-on effect on yield," Company statement. Source: Iberia, 25-Feb-2010.
