Minneapolis/St Paul: Pax traffic recovering at the Twin Cities, cargo yet to stabilise. LCCs vital

Passenger traffic at Minneapolis/St Paul Airport (MSP) appears to be inching back towards positive levels, with Apr-2009 traffic down 5.5%, a relative improvement over Mar-2009 levels (but helped by Easter falling in April this year). However, cargo traffic has not yet followed the passenger segment, although may be finding a floor at depressed levels of -25%.
