IATA: "Global business confidence continues to flatline, but a recent easing in the rate of decline in the Eurozone could help reduce downward pressure on global growth. Nonetheless, the Eurozone remains in recession and while continued growth in emerging markets should sustain growth in air travel, acceleration is unlikely in the near-term," Source: Company statement, 31-Jul-2013.
