The International Air Transport Association now expects a net profit of $4.7-billion for the industry next year, with more than 4 billion passengers set to fly

The global airline industry will become profitable again next year for the first time since 2019 as a resurgence of air travel continues following nearly two years of COVID-19 restrictions, an industry association said on Tuesday.
