IATA: Intense downward pressure on yields has eased

IATA reported (09-Nov-2016) the decline in global average yield in reported US dollar terms has paused in seasonally adjusted terms over the past few months. Yield has trended downwards since late-2014. The pause ties in with the change in the trend in fuel prices over the past nine months or so. The intense downward pressure on underlying yields seen during the opening months of 2016 has eased during the middle months of 2016. [more - original PR]
