According to figures published by The International Air Transport Association (IATA), prospects improved for European airline carriers towards the end of September compared to the June forecast, which is welcome news in such a difficult financial climate hinting at a brighter 2011 on the horizon for airport contractors and companies specialising in the refurbishment of airport facilities.
