The airlines of the Asia-Pacific region experienced an 8.7% growth in demand, while the capacity achieved 9% year-over-year growth.

The European carriers reached 4% year-on-year growth in demand. The capacity also gained a 4.2% growth.

In North America, the demand growth was 2.4% year-over-year for carriers, while the capacity also rose by 3.6%.
