ACI EUROPE: "Things aren't so much improving as getting less worse. The vast majority of European airports continue to lose traffic, albeit at a slower pace than earlier in the year. The real ray of light comes from the trend in freight traffic, which is substantially above the -20% barrier for the first time this year. However, this cannot yet be called a recovery," Olivier Jankovec, Director General. Source: ACI Europe, 08-Sep-2009.
