Important element that focuses on all research undertaken, consider policies and strategies offered by the EU in transport, and launching a new strategic concept (NCS), the European air routes optimization, allowing quick and easy movement into desired areas.

The industry is shifting gears in the recovery cycle. Growth is slowing towards normal historical levels in the 5-6% range. Relative weakness in developed markets is being offset by the momentum of economic expansion in developing markets. We see a strong end to 2010 that boosted the year’s profit forecast to $15.1 billion. Slowing traffic growth is in line with our projections for a reduced profit of $9.1 billion in 2011, that’s a 1.5% margin.
