Aero-News Quote of the Day

“While the airline industry is making the transition from razor-thin to paper-thin margins, keeping just 2.1 pennies per dollar of revenue generated in the first half of 2013, it is reinvesting in the product and travel experience for customers at a rate not seen in 12 years – to the tune of $1 billion per month. Airline customers, employees, investors and the U.S. economy are all vastly better off with a financially strong industry that can cover its costs over an entire business cycle and compete effectively on the global stage, while expanding air service and creating even more American jobs.” Source: John Heimlich, Vice President and Chief Economist for A4A.
