According to an interview with the official China Daily newspaper, passenger revenue in the six months grew by 47.8 percent over the same period last year, with a total of 26.3 million passengers. However, the airline stated that the best results were in cargo, which increased 109.1 percent in the period compared to the same period last year.

Delta Air Lines passenger traffic in august increased 1.1 percent on 1.2-percent increased capacity, keeping the load factor flat at 86.5 percent. While domestic traffic fell 1.0 percent in August, international traffic grew 4.2 percent with Latin America leading the growth with a 10.1-percent increase, with the Pacific up 9.5 percent. Year-to-date traffic in the eight months had a system growth of 0.4 percent, with Latin America up 5.9 percent, second in growth for the year-to-date to the Pacific with 12.2-percent growth. Passenger cargo (no freighter service this year) was up 37.9 percent for the year and 26.6 percent in August.

American Airlines reports system traffic up 3.1 percent in August, with year-to-date for the eight months up 1.7 percent.
