GENEVA - Global revenue passenger kilometres grew by a robust 6.8% year-on-year in July, the first summer peak month.

Passenger demand remains on course to grow solidly in 2017 as a whole and with stimulus from lower airfares waning, the exceptionally supportive demand backdrop has moderated.

The industry-wide passenger load factor posted an all-time high for the month of July (84.7%).

China tops the domestic chart for just the second time in 28 months, but the upward trend in India has picked up.
