First 11 Months Better Than Any Year Since 1945
International Air Transport Association CEO Tony Tyler noted in
a December 7 speech in Geneva, Switzerland that while it's been an
up-and-down year from a business standpoint, 2011 has been a
remarkably safe one for airlines. In fact, IATA now says the first
11 months of the year have been the safest since 1945, when records
were first kept.
