The International Air Transport Association (IATA) in a recent report said that airline financial performance is continuing to improve gradually despite difficult conditions. IATA also raised its industry profit outlook for 2013, citing further evidence that structural changes have taken place which has improved the ability of airlines to generate profits given the economic conditions. In the U.S., the airline industry is expected to benefit from consolidation. The industry is also expected to benefit from lower oil prices. An improvement in the U.S. economic environment is another positive for the industry.
