Airlines see improved yields ahead, but risks remain – IATA survey

Airlines are becoming more optimistic about the outlook for yields, with a recent IATA survey of airline executives noting over three-quarters of respondents indicated that yields should increase over the coming year. IATA stated that further demand recovery, combined with capacity restraint, could "lend support to this pattern of improvement over the year ahead", but added, "the risk remains of excess capacity re-entering the market once more and muting yield recovery".
