DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/rbqjjn/the_north) has announced the addition of the "The North American Aviation Market 2012" report to their offering.
During the review period the North American aviation market was adversely affected by economic recession, periods of declining passenger traffic and high oil prices, which resulted in underperformance during 2008-2010. The market's performance improved in 2011 due to strengthening economic conditions, a rise in corporate travel budgets and capacity discipline. However, rising fuel prices and intense competition continue to negatively impact revenues. To protect margins, airlines began focusing on ancillary revenues, aligning capacity to meet demand and improve cost structures. These steps are expected to help airlines maintain their profitability over the forecast period despite economic uncertainty. Improved financial performance will enable airlines to enhance their brand presence and long-term viability through differentiated and consistent customer service.
