ACI: "Passenger growth is very robust and will most likely hold above 6% at year end which is excellent news after a 2% drop in 2009. Looking at regional results what is striking is that growth curves are converging. Growth in North America and Europe is accelerating whereas it has been slowing down in Middle East, Asia-Pacific and Latin America-Caribbean regions." Andreas Schimm, Economics Director.
