The International Air Transport Association said worldwide losses will be in excess of $4.7bn and the Middle East is projected to lose $ 900 million (Dh3.3 billion). Both individuals and companies have decreased their travel as the financial crisis has evolved. In February passenger demand was ten per cent lower than the same period last year.
