Losses of airlines exceeded $ 6 billion

Avioindustriya global losses in the first half of the year exceeded $ 6 billion, announced by the International Air Transport Association, RIA Novosti.
Losses of 50 airlines in the second quarter, which traditionally is considered a „hot“ period for the industry of air freight and passenger services have decreased twice in comparison with the first quarter – to $ 2 billion.
As this list of airlines is incomplete, the total loss in the first six months of 2009 will likely exceed $ 6 billion, says a report of the Geneva-based association.
